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…
Search for 14.4 keV solar axions from M1 transition of Fe-57 with CUORE crystals
The Cuore Collaboration, F. Alessandria, R. Ardito +112
We report the results of a search for axions from the 14.4 keV M1 transition from Fe-57 in the core of the sun using the axio-electric effect in TeO2 bolometers. The detectors are…
The low energy spectrum of TeO2 bolometers: results and dark matter perspectives for the CUORE-0 and CUORE experiments
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +113
We collected 19.4 days of data from four 750 g TeO2 bolometers, and in three of them we were able to set the energy threshold around 3 keV using a new analysis technique. We found…
Additional experimental evidence against a solar influence on nuclear decay rates
Eric B. Norman
Conflicting results from two experiments studying the decay of Cl-36 point to instrumental artifacts rather than a solar influence being responsible for variations in measured coun…
