Study of $\mathrm{CdMoO_4}$ crystal for a neutrinoless double beta decay experiment with $\mathrm{{}^{116}Cd}$ and $\mathrm{{}^{100}Mo}$ nuclides

The scintillation properties of a $\mathrm{CdMoO_4}$ crystal have been investigated experimentally. The fluorescence yields and decay times measured from 22 K to 300 K demonstrate that $\mathrm{CdMoO_4}$ crystal is a good candidate for an absorber for a bolometer readout, for both heat and scintillation signals. The results from Monte Carlo studies taking the backgrounds from $\mathrm{2\nu2\beta}$ of $\mathrm{{}_{42}^{100}Mo}$ ($\mathrm{{}_{48}^{116}Cd}$) and internal trace nuclides $\mathrm{{}^{214}Bi}$ and $\mathrm{{}^{208}Tl}$ into account show that the expected sensitivity of $\mathrm{CdMoO_4}$ bolometer for neutrinoless double beta decay experiment with an exposure of 100 $\mathrm{{kg}\cdot{years}}$ is one order of magnitude higher than those of the current sets of the $\mathrm{\lim{T^{0\nu\beta\beta}_{1/2}}}$ of $\mathrm{{}_{42}^{100}Mo}$ and $\mathrm{{}_{48}^{116}Cd}$.
