Description
AMoRE (Advanced Mo-based Rare process Experiment) is an international collaboration aiming to search for the neutrinoless double beta (0n bb) decay of 100Mo using molybdate scintillating crystals with metallic magnetic calorimeters as low-temperature sensors. The data of the second phase experiment, AMoRE-I, with ~3 kg of 100Mo in the scintillating crystals, can be used to search for 0n bb decay of 100Mo to the ground and excited states of 100Ru, search for the resonance excitation of the 7Li nuclei in the Li2MoO4 crystals by hypothetical axions emitted in the de-excitation of the 7Li nuclei in the Sun. AMoRE-II that is the final phase experiment with 100 kg of 100Mo is under preparation to be installed at a new underground laboratory with deeper overburden and larger space for future experiments. The extended scale of the detector will provide further possibilities to search for symmetry violations (Lorentz, CPT), Majorons and other effects beyond the Standard Model of particles. Here, we present the current status of the AMoRE-I, preparation of the AMoRE-II, and the physics approaches using the AMoRE detector.
