CUPID: a next-generation neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment

ORAL

Abstract



CUPID, the CUORE Upgrade with Particle IDentification is a next-generation tonne-scale neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment that will be able to probe the neutrino mass Inverted Ordering region, test the Majorana nature of neutrinos, and search for lepton number violation. CUPID’s scientific program will be built upon the experience from previous experiments CUORE, CUPID-Mo, and CUPID-0, supported by the detailed background model studies from those experiments. CUPID will consist of 1500 Li$_2$MoO$_4$ scintillating bolometric detector crystals with a total mass of 250 kg of $^{100}$Mo, the isotope of interest. We will present the latest developments towards the construction of the experiment and the projected performance and projected sensitivity of CUPID.
