Neutrinoless double-beta decay search results from CUORE
ORAL
Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a ton-scale cryogenic experiment designed to search for neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay of $^{130}$Te. The experiment consists of 988 ultracold TeO$_2$ bolometric crystals arranged into 19 towers, which act as both the $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay sources and detectors. CUORE began taking data in the spring of 2017. We will discuss the early neutrinoless doube-beta decay search results from CUORE, focusing on energy calibration and our understanding of the detector energy scale and resolution in CUORE.
