Performances of a large mass ZnMoO4 scintillating bolometer for a next generation 0νDBD experiment

We present the performances of a 330 g zinc molybdate (ZnMoO 4 ) crystal working as scintillating bolometer as a possible candidate for a next generation experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 100 Mo. The energy resolution, evaluated at the 2615 keV γ -line of 208 Tl, is 6.3 keV...

Description
Summary:We present the performances of a 330 g zinc molybdate (ZnMoO 4 ) crystal working as scintillating bolometer as a possible candidate for a next generation experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 100 Mo. The energy resolution, evaluated at the 2615 keV γ -line of 208 Tl, is 6.3 keV FWHM. The internal radioactive contaminations of the ZnMoO 4 were evaluated as
