100Mo Neutron Activation Background Measurement for CUPID

CUPID, a proposed next-generation ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay search, will deploy an array of ~1600 Li2Mo04 bolometers operated near 10mK. 100Mo, the decaying isotope of interest, offers multiple benefits in its enriched crystal LiMoO4 form, one of which is the ability to reject backgrounds due to alpha contamination with a secondary scintillation signal. Deploying a massive detector of 100Mo also necessitates a search for any potential backgrounds associated with the isotope, in particular neutron activated backgrounds. I will discuss gamma spectroscopy measurements taken at Duke's Tandem Facility, where enriched 100Mo was exposed with 4-6MeV neutrons.
