TL;DR

The paper details the design, construction, and operation of CUORE-0, a detector tower for neutrinoless double-beta decay search, highlighting improvements over previous experiments and demonstrating the feasibility of CUORE's goals.

Contribution

It presents the first assembled CUORE-0 tower, showcasing design enhancements and operational results that support CUORE's potential success.

Findings

01

CUORE-0 was successfully built and operated.

02

Design improvements over Cuoricino were implemented.

03

Data indicates CUORE's goals are achievable.

Abstract

The CUORE experiment will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of $^{130}$ Te with an array of 988 TeO $_{2}$ bolometers arranged in 19 towers. CUORE-0, the first tower assembled according to the CUORE procedures, was built and commissioned at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, and took data from March 2013 to March 2015. In this paper we describe the design, construction and operation of the CUORE-0 experiment, with an emphasis on the improvements made over a predecessor experiment, Cuoricino. In particular, we demonstrate with CUORE-0 data that the design goals of CUORE are within reach.
