First test of a \mathrm{CdMoO_4} scintillating bolometer for neutrinoless double beta decay experiments with \mathrm{{}^{116}Cd} and \mathrm{{}^{100}Mo} nuclides

A large cylindrical cadmium molybdate crystal with natural isotopic abundance has been used to fabricate a scintillating bolometer. The measurement was performed above ground at milli-Kelvin temperature, with simultaneous readout of the heat and the scintillation light. The energy resolution as FWHM has achieved from 5 keV (at 238 keV)... Show more
