Initial Results from CERES, a Cryogenic Experiment to Reconstruct Energy Systematics in TeO2 bolometers
ORAL
Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) experiment, located beneath the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, employs an array of TeO2 crystals operated at millikelvin temperatures to search for rare neutrinoless double beta decay (0ν𝛃𝛃) events.
A precise understanding of the energy systematics is vital for the operation of the experiment given the extremely narrow, delta-like peak in the energy spectrum predicted for 0ν𝛃𝛃. Recent studies have indicated that the energy resolution of these calorimetric detectors may also depend on the topological features of the events.
This presentation will detail the design and implementation of an experiment, CERES, and focus on results from prototype runs.
