CERES: 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 events.

A precise understanding of the energy systematics is vital for the operation of the experiment. 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 focus on the design and implementation of an experiment, CERES, to investigate this phenomenon.
