Description
AMoRE is a search for neutrinoless double beta decay using Mo-100 enriched crystal scintillators at an ultra-low temperature. We have understood the major background sources and how they can be reduced from a pilot stage run in the Yangyang underground laboratory. AMoRE-I is currently running with twelve $^{48\textrm{depl}}$Ca$^{100}$MoO$_{4}$ and five Li$_{2}^{100}$MoO$_{4}$ crystals with a total mass of enriched $^{100}$Mo 2.8 kg. The detector design for the main stage of the experiment, AMoRE-II, has been finalized and the detector is under construction in YemiLab, a new underground laboratory located in an iron mine with an average depth 2500 meter of water equivalent. The status of AMoRE-I and the preparations for AMoRE-II will be presented.
