© 2019, The Author(s).The advanced molybdenum-based rare process experiment (AMoRE) aims to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0 νββ) of 100Mo with ∼100kg of 100Mo-enriched molybdenum embedded in cryogenic detectors with a dual heat and light readout. At the current, pilot stage of the AMoRE project we employ six calcium molybdate crystals with a total mass of 1.9 kg, produced from 48Ca-depleted calcium and 100Mo-enriched molybdenum (48 deplCa 100MoO 4). The simultaneous detection of heat (phonon) and scintillation (photon) signals is realized with high resolution metallic magnetic calorimeter sensors that operate at milli-Kelvin temperatures. This stage of the project is carried out in the Yangyang underground laboratory at a depth of 700 m. We report first results from the AMoRE-Pilot 0 νββ search with a 111 kg day live exposure of 48 deplCa 100MoO 4 crystals. No evidence for 0 νββ decay of 100Mo is found, and a upper limit is set for the half-life of 0 νββ of 100Mo of T1/20ν>9.5×1022years at 90% C.L. This limit corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass limit in the range ⟨mββ⟩≤(1.2-2.1)eV.
