MOON for a next-generation neutrino-less double-beta decay experiment; present status and perspective

Cross sections of neutral-current neutrino scattering on 98,100Mo isotopes

“…Furthermore, the 100 Mo nucleus is a famous double-beta-decay emitter [31,32] and has been employed by various experiments, e.g. the NEMO Observatory [33], the MOON experiment [34], etc. Thus, nuclear-structure calculations in the Mo region are welcome for other processes and experiments too.…”

Required sensitivity in the search of neutrinoless double beta decay in 124Sn

“…Several experiments are focusing on different isotopes via utilizing various detector techniques such as GERDA (GERmanium Detector Array) [4], MAJORANA (Majorana Demonstrator) [5] and CDEX (China Dark matter EXperiment) with 76 Ge enrich high purity Ge detectors [6]; EXO (Enriched Xenon Observatory) [7] and KamLandZen (Kamioka Liquid Scintillator Antineutrino Detector) with liquid 136 Xe time projection chambers [8]; and CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) with 130 Te bolometric detectors [9]. The next-generation experiments with tonne scale detectors such as LEGEND ( 76 Ge) (MAJORANA + GERDA) [10,11], nEXO ( 136 Xe) [12], NEXT ( 136 Xe) [13], CUPID ( 130 Te) [14], SuperNEMO ( 82 Se, 150 Nd) [15], AMoRE ( 100 Mo) [16], COBRA ( 116 Cd) [17], CANDLES-III ( 48 Ca) [18], SNO + ( 130 Te) [19], TIN.TIN ( 124 Sn) [20], MOON ( 100 Mo) [21] and LUMINEU ( 100 Mo) [22] have been proposed. Some of them will start data taking over the next few years and others are under construction phase.…”
