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…
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…
Sensitivity and Discovery Potential of CUORE to Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +118
We present a study of the sensitivity and discovery potential of CUORE, a bolometric double-beta decay experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in I…
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…
