A Search for Solar Axions with CUORE

ORAL

Abstract

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an array of 988 TeO2 crystal calorimeters currently operating at Gran Sasso National Laboratory. CUORE’s primary physics goal is to search for the neutrinoless double-beta of 130Te. As a low background experiment with good energy resolution and high exposure, CUORE has the potential to perform multiple rare-event searches that occur in a lower energy region of interest below 100 keV, including searches for solar axions and Axion Like Particles (ALPs). This talk will discuss the development of low energy analysis tools and the prospects of performing a solar axion search using CUORE.
