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…
Search for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay of Te with CUORE-0
K. Alfonso, D. R. Artusa, F. T. Avignone +115
We report the results of a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in a 9.8~kgyr exposure of Te using a bolometric detector array, CUORE-0. The characteristic dete…
Exploring the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in the Inverted Neutrino Hierarchy with Bolometric Detectors
D. R. Artusa, F. T. Avignone, O. Azzolini +116
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0nubb) is one of the most sensitive probes for physics beyond the Standard Model, providing unique information on the nature of neutrinos. In this p…
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…
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…
