Title: Double-beta decay of $$^{130}\hbox {Te}$$ to the first $0^+$ excited state of $$^{130}\hbox {Xe}$$ with CUORE-0

Abstract

We report on a search for double beta decay of ¹³⁰Te to the first 0 ⁺ excited state of ¹³⁰Xe using a 9.8kg·yr exposure of ¹³⁰Te collected with the CUORE-0 experiment. In this work we exploit different topologies of coincident events to search for both the neutrinoless and two-neutrino double beta decay modes. We find no evidence for either mode and place lower bounds on the half-lives: $$T_{0_1^+}^{0ν}$$ > 7.9·10 ²³yr and $$T_{0_1^+}^{2ν}$$ > 2.4·10 ²³yr (90%CL). Combining our results with those obtained by the CUORICINO experiment, we achieve the most stringent constraints available for these processes: $$T_{0_1^+}^{0ν}$$ > 1.4·10 ²⁴yr and $$T_{0_1^+}^{2ν}$$ > 2.5·10 ²³yr (90%CL).

Journal Article Alduino, C. ; Alessandria, F. ; Alfonso, K. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ¹³⁰Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO ₂ exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7 ± 0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014 ± 0.002) counts /(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of Tmore »« less

Journal Article Alduino, C. ; Alfonso, K. ; Artusa, D. R. ; ... - Physical Review C

Here, we describe in detail the methods used to obtain the lower bound on the lifetime of neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay in ¹³⁰Te and the associated limit on the effective Majorana mass of the neutrino using the CUORE-0 detector. CUORE-0 is a bolometric detector array located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso that was designed to validate the background reduction techniques developed for CUORE, a next-generation experiment scheduled to come online in 2016. CUORE-0 is also a competitive 0νββ decay search in its own right and functions as a platform to further develop the analysis tools and procedures tomore »« less

New CUORICINO results and status of CUORE

Journal Article Cremoniesi, O., E-mail: Oliviero.Cremonesi@mib.infn.it ; Ardito, R. ; Arnaboldi, C. ; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

CUORICINO is an array of 62 TeO{sub 2} bolometers with a total mass of 40.7 kg (11.2 kg of {sup 130}Te), operated at about 10 mK to search for {beta}{beta}(0{nu}) of {sup 130}Te. The detectors are organized as a 14-story tower and intended as a slightly modified version of one of the 19 towers of the CUORE project, a proposed tightly packed array of 988 TeO{sub 2} bolometers (741 kg of total mass of TeO{sub 2}) for ultralow-background searches on neutrinoless double-beta decay, cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. Started in April 2003 at the Laboratori Nazionalimore »« less
