SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Roger Huang (UCB)
April 14, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Speaker: Roger Huang (UC Berkeley)
Title: 0νββ Search Results from One Ton-Year of CUORE Data
Abstract:
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is currently the most sensitive way to test the hypothesis that neutrinos may be Majorana particles and obtain insight as to the nature of neutrino masses. CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) first began taking data over 3 years ago and is now one of the leading experiments in the current international 0νββ landscape. It utilizes a cryogenic bolometric approach, operating 742 kg of TeO2 at a temperature of ~10 mK to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Te-130. This talk will present new results from the search for 0νββ with CUORE, coming from an analysis of data corresponding to over one ton-year of exposure.
