Neutrino studies in 100Mo and MOON -Mo observatory of neutrinos

The MOON (Molybdenum Observatory Of Neutrinos) project is a hybrid ββ and solar ν experiment with 100 Mo. It aims at high sensitive studies of ββ decays with a sensitivity of m ν > ∼ 0.03 eV and real-time studies of pp and 7 Be solar ν's. The double β rays from 100 Mo are measured in prompt coincidence for the 0νββ studies, and the inverse β rays from solar-ν captures of 100 Mo are measured in delayed coincidence with the subsequent β decay of 100 Tc. Measurements with good position resolution enable one to select true signals by spatial and time correlations.
