Progress Towards Low Energy Analysis Techniques for the CUORE Experiment

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a tonne-scale bolometer located at Gran Sasso National Laboratories in Assergi, Italy. To date, CUORE has collected over 1000 kg yr of exposure. The energy spectrum of CUORE is typically optimized to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Te-130. To utilize the entire available energy spectrum, we can optimize the selection of usable physics events at lower energies to improve sensitivity for analyses with signals at energies of less than 100 keV. We discuss the development of new low energy tools, and the study of the resulting data quality for use in exotic low energy searches beyond neutrinoless double-beta decay for the CUORE experiment.
