Description
The AMoRE(Advanced Mo based Rare process Experiment) collaboration intends to find neutrinoless
double beta decay of Mo-100 using CaMoO$_4$ crystals. The crystals are equipped with MMC-type phonon and photon
sensors to detect both thermal and scintillation signals from particle interactions in the crystals cooled down to 10~20 mK.
The experiment is to be realized in three phases. AMoRE pilot is the almost completed R&D phase with a 1.9 kg array of
six crystals enriched in Mo-100 and depleted in Ca-48 running at the 700-m-deep Yangyang underground lab. The AMoRE I
phase will have 5 kg of detectors. AMoRE II will utilize about 200 kg of molybdate crystal scintillators to explore the inverted
neutrino mass hierarchy. A new 1000-m-deep underground lab which will accomodate the AMoRE II detector will be excavated
by the end of 2019. The collaboration has already secured 50 kg of Mo-100 isotope out of 120 kg contracted.
The status and prospects of the experiment will be presented.
