| Description: |
An array of twelve 0.28 kg lithium molybdate (LMO)low-temperature bolometers equipped with 16 bolometric Ge lightdetectors, aiming at optimization of detector structure for CROSSand CUPID double-beta decay experiments, was constructed and testedin a low-background pulse-tube-based cryostat at the Canfrancunderground laboratory in Spain. Performance of the scintillatingbolometers was studied depending on the size of phonon NTD-Gesensors glued to both LMO and Ge absorbers, shape of the Ge lightdetectors (circular vs. square, from two suppliers), in differentlight collection conditions (with and without reflector, withaluminum coated LMO crystal surface). The scintillating bolometerarray was operated over 8 months in the low-background conditionsthat allowed to probe a very low, μBq/kg, level of the LMOcrystals radioactive contamination by $^{228}$Th and $^{226}$Ra. |
