Twelve-crystal prototype of Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub> scintillating bolometers for CUPID and CROSS experiments
An array of twelve 0.28 kg lithium molybdate (LMO) low-temperature bolometers equipped with 16 bolometric Ge light detectors, aiming at optimization of detector structure for CROSS and CUPID double-beta decay experiments, was constructed and tested in a low-background pulse-tube-based cryostat at the Canfranc underground laboratory in Spain. Performance of the …
