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…
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…
Bose-Einstein condensation of alkaline earth atoms: {Ca}
Sebastian Kraft, Felix Vogt, Oliver Appel +2
We have achieved Bose-Einstein condensation of Ca, the first for an alkaline earth element. The influence of elastic and inelastic collisions associated with the large groun…
