  • Abstract
    Scintillation properties and radioactive contamination of calcium molybdate scintillating crystals depleted in 48Ca and enriched in 100Mo (40Ca100MoO4 ) have been studied to prepare a 100Mo-based neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. The prospects of a neutrinoless double beta decay experiment using 40Ca100MoO4 crystals are discussed.
