Description

CUPID-Mo is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with enriched Li$_{2}$$^{100}$MoO$_4$ scintillating crystals, operating at the Modane underground laboratory. During the first physics runs, started at the beginning of 2019, CUPID-Mo collected an exposure of more than 2 kg.y. The data validates the high level of radiopurity of the crystals and the excellent alpha-particle rejection.
In this work we present a model to reconstruct the CUPID-Mo energy spectra. The model is built from the Monte Carlo simulations of the background sources and exploits their distinctive signatures.
The investigation of the background sources in CUPID-Mo is precious to finely tune the construction choices of the next-generation experiment CUPID.
