Fundamental Neutron Physics: a White Paper on Progress and Prospects in the US
R. Alarcon, A. Aleksandrova, S. Baeßler +88
Fundamental neutron physics, combining precision measurements and theory, probes particle physics at short range with reach well beyond the highest energies probed by the LHC. Sign…
CUORE Opens the Door to Tonne-scale Cryogenics Experiments
CUORE Collaboration, D. Q. Adams, C. Alduino +206
The past few decades have seen major developments in the design and operation of cryogenic particle detectors. This technology offers an extremely good energy resolution - comparab…
First Results from CUORE: A Search for Lepton Number Violation via Decay of Te
CUORE Collaboration, C. Alduino, K. Alfonso +162
The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advanc…
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…
Double-beta decay of Te to the first 0 excited state of Xe with CUORICINO
E. Andreotti, C. Arnaboldi, F. T. Avignone +63
The CUORICINO experiment was an array of 62 TeO single-crystal bolometers with a total Te mass of kg. The experiment finished in 2008 after more than 3 years…
130Te Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay with CUORICINO
E. Andreotti, C. Arnaboldi, F. T. Avignone +63
We report the final result of the CUORICINO experiment. Operated between 2003 and 2008, with a total exposure of 19.75 kg y of 130Te, CUORICINO was able to set a lower bound on the…
Search for beta plus/EC double beta decay of 120Te
E. Andreotti, C. Arnaboldi, F. T. Avignone +63
We present a search for beta plus/EC double beta decay of 120Te performed with the CUORICINO experiment, an array of TeO2 cryogenic bolometers. After collecting 0.0573 kg y of 120T…
Production of high purity TeO2 single crystals for the study of neutrinoless double beta decay
C. Arnaboldi, C. Brofferio, A. Bryant +43
High purity TeO2 crystals are produced to be used for the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. Dedicated production lines for raw material synthesis, crystal gro…
Muon-induced backgrounds in the CUORICINO experiment
E. Andreotti, C. Arnaboldi, F. T. Avignone +68
To better understand the contribution of cosmic ray muons to the CUORICINO background, 10 plastic scintillator detectors were installed at the CUORICINO site and operated during th…
