Description
AMoRE searches for the signature of neutrinoless double beta decay
from the $^{100}$Mo with an experiment on the scale of 100 kg of the isotope $^{100}$Mo.
We developed scintillating molybdate crystals to run at millikelvin temperatures coupled with a metallic magnetic calorimeter and a SQUID sensor.
To demonstrate the full-scale AMoRE, we ran pre-experiments at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory. The AMoRE-II experiment is under construction and will start data-taking at Yemilab in 2027. The first stage of the experiment with 90 lithium molybdate crystals will begin in 2025. The 5-year run of AMoRE-II has a sensitivity of $4.5 \times 10^{26}$ years with an expected background rate of $ \sim 1\times 10^{-4}$ counts/keV/kg/year.
