The Coldest Cubic Meter in the Known Universe
Jonathan Ouellet
TL;DR
CUORE is a highly sensitive cryogenic detector designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay, operating at extremely low temperatures to achieve unprecedented cooling of a cubic meter in the universe.
Contribution
This paper introduces CUORE, a novel cryogenic detector array that achieves the coldest cubic meter in the universe for particle physics research.
Findings
CUORE will operate at 10 mK temperature.
The detector is capable of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay.
It will begin data collection in 2015.
Abstract
CUORE is a 741 kg array of TeO2 bolometers that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. The detector is being constructed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, where it will begin taking data in 2015. The CUORE cryostat will cool several metric tonnes of material to below 1 K and the CUORE detector itself will operate at a typical temperature of 10 mK. At this temperature, the CUORE detector will be the coldest contiguous cubic meter in the known Universe.
