Abstract

We have studied the energy resolution, α / β ratio, temperature dependence of the scintillation properties, and the radioactive contamination of CaMoO4 crystal scintillators. We have also examined the use of pulse-shape discrimination to distinguish γ rays and α particles. A high sensitivity experiment to search for the 0 ν 2 β decay of Mo 100 using CaMoO4 scintillators is discussed.
