The CUORE and CUORE-0 experiments at LNGS
A. D'Addabbo, C. Alduino, K. Alfonso +122
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a 1-ton scale bolometric experiment devoted to the search of the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0ν\b{eta}\b{eta})…
Validation of techniques to mitigate copper surface contamination in CUORE
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +115
In this article we describe the background challenges for the CUORE experiment posed by surface contamination of inert detector materials such as copper, and present three techniqu…
CUORE crystal validation runs: results on radioactive contamination and extrapolation to CUORE background
F. Alessandria, E. Andreotti, R. Ardito +116
The CUORE Crystal Validation Runs (CCVRs) have been carried out since the end of 2008 at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories, in order to test the performances and the radiopurity…
Status of the CUORE and results from the CUORE-0 neutrinoless double beta decay experiments
CUORE Collaboration, M. Sisti, D. R. Artusa +125
CUORE is a 741 kg array of TeO2 bolometers for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. The detector is being constructed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso,…
Double-beta decay of Te to the first excited state of Xe with CUORE-0
CUORE Collaboration, C. Alduino, K. Alfonso +118
We report on a search for double beta decay of Te to the first excited state of Xe using a 9.8 kgyr exposure of Te collected with the CUORE-0…
CUORE-0 detector: design, construction and operation
CUORE Collaboration, C. Alduino, K. Alfonso +151
The CUORE experiment will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Te with an array of 988 TeO bolometers arranged in 19 towers. CUORE-0, the first tower assembled…
