Mo for CUPID*

CUPID (CUORE with Upgraded Particle IDentification), an update to CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events), is an experiment designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay using the candidate isotope ¹⁰⁰Mo. To estimate the neutron-induced gamma ray background of ¹⁰⁰Mo, an experiment was conducted at TUNL (Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory) in which neutron beams ranging from 4-8 MeV were targeted at varying samples of ¹⁰⁰Mo, ⁵⁶Fe, and Cu. We present neutron-¹⁰⁰Mo gamma production cross sections for decays of interest to the background estimations of CUPID, and set a limit on production of gamma-events within the region of interest.
