CUPID-0: the first array of enriched scintillating bolometers for 0νββdecay investigations

Abstract

The CUPID-0 detector hosted at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, is the first large array of enriched scintillating cryogenic detectors for the investigation of ${}^{82}$Se neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu \beta \beta$). CUPID-0 aims at measuring a background index in the region of interest (RoI) for 0$\nu \beta \beta$ at the level of 10${}^{-3}$ c/keV/kg/y, the lowest value ever measured using cryogenic detectors. This result can be achieved by a state of the art technology for background suppression and thorough protocols and procedures for detector preparation and construction. In this paper, the different phases of the detector design and construction will be presented, from the material selection (for the absorber production) to the new and innovative detector structure. The successful construction of the detector lead to promising detector performance which are here preliminarily discussed
