CUORE-0 Measurement of 2$\nu \beta \beta $ decay
ORAL
Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a neutrinoless double-beta (0$\nu \beta \beta )$ decay experiment currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). CUORE will perform this search in $^{\mathrm{130}}$Te by using 988 TeO$_{\mathrm{2}}$ bolometric crystals arranged in 19 towers inside of a cryostat operating at 10 mK. The first phase of CUORE, CUORE-0, took data at LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) during the period from March 2013 to March 2015 using a single CUORE-like tower. In this talk, I will present the results from the CUORE-0 experiment for the two-neutrino double-beta (2$\nu \beta \beta )$ decay measurement of $^{\mathrm{130}}$Te as well as the background model used to determine this result.
