Abstract

AMoRE is an international project to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 100^{100}Mo using a detection technology consisting of magnetic microcalorimeters (MMCs) and molybdenum-based scintillating crystals. Data collection has begun for the current AMORE-I phase of the project, an upgrade from the previous pilot phase. AMoRE-I employs thirteen 48depl.^\mathrm{48depl.}Ca100^{100}MoO4_4 crystals and five Li2_2100^{100}MoO4_4 crystals for a total crystal mass of 6.2 kg. Each detector module contains a scintillating crystal with two MMC channels for heat and light detection. We report the present status of the experiment and the performance of the detector modules.
