DOIAbstract
International audienceThe LUMINEU is designed to investigate the possibility to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in (100) Mo by means of a large array of scintillating bolometers based on ZnMoO4 crystals enriched in (100) Mo. High energy resolution and relatively fast detectors, which are able to measure both the light and the heat generated upon the interaction of a particle in a crystal, are very promising for the recognition and rejection of background events. We present the LUMINEU concepts and the experimental results achieved aboveground and underground with large-mass natural and enriched crystals. The measured energy resolution, the α/β discrimination power and the radioactive internal contamination are all within the speci...
