Abstract
AMoRE is an international project to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{100}hbox {Mo} using a detection technology consisting of magnetic microcalorimeters (MMCs) and molybdenum-based scintillating crystals. Data collection has begun for the current AMORE-I phase of the project, an upgrade from the previous pilot phase. AMoRE-I employs thirteen {}^mathrm {48depl.}hbox {Ca}^{100}hbox {MoO}_4 crystals and five hbox {Li}_2^{100}hbox {MoO}_4 crystals for a total crystal mass of 6.2 kg. Each detector module contains a scintillating crystal with two MMC channels for heat and light detection. We report the present status of the experiment and the performance of the detector modules.
