 on the other hand the candidate isotope <sup>100</sup>Mo has a Q-value of 3034 keV
 (compared to 2527 keV of <sup>130</sup>Te), which lies above most of the γ background from environmental radioactivity. Special attention is paid to the minimization of the radioactive contamination levels of all employed materials. Using the information from the predecessor experiments CUORE, [[https://cupid-0.lngs.infn.it/|CUPID-0]], and [[https://cupid-mo.mit.edu|CUPID-Mo]], the projected background at Q<sub>ββ</sub> is expected to be at the level of 10<sup>-4</sup> counts/keV/kg/yr.
+CUPID-Mo  has  robustly  demonstrated  that Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub> scintillating bolometers
+meet the requirement for CUPID. CUPID-Mo was an array of 20 elements that took data until 2020 in the Modane underground laboratory in France, as a follow-up  of  the LUMINEU  project.
+It  has shown  the  maturity  reached  by  the proposed CUPID  technology  and  the  high  standard  of the Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub> detectors  in  terms  of  energy resolution, α/β rejection capabilities, internal radiopurity, and overall reproducibility of the results.
