Description

Due date has been revised to July 3, 2023 This is a Request for Information to determine available sources for the following scope: CUPID (CUORE Upgrade with Particle Identification) is an international project in nuclear physics, seeking to discover a rare process of neutrinoless double beta decay of the Mo-100 nucleus. CUPID will deploy a large array of cryogenic calorimeter detectors in the�form of lithium molybdate (Li2MoO4) single crystals. The crystals will be operated at cryogenic�temperatures of about 10 mK and produce scintillation light. CUPID is an international�collaboration between the US, Italy, France, and other countries, and will operate in the Gran�Sasso underground lab in Italy. Molybdenum is to be enriched to at least 90% by number�density, with the preferred enrichment level of 95% or greater. The total mass of Mo-100�element in the detector is 280 kg. Berkeley Lab is interested in procuring 640 LMO crystals�enriched in Mo-100, with the balance procured by our international partners. Berkeley Lab is seeking suppliers with these capabilities. Details of the requested response can be found in the attached RFI document.�
