Latest Results on Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Search with CUORE

ORAL

Abstract

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiment using the cryogenic calorimetric technique. The detector, located at the LNGS in Italy, consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. CUORE began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of 10 mK and collected over two tonne-years of TeO2 exposure. This is the largest amount of data ever acquired with a solid state detector and the most sensitive search for 0νββ decay in 130Te ever conducted. This talk will present the results from CUORE's latest search for 0νββ.
