First results from cuore

Key Points

The initial findings highlight the detection of neutrinoless double beta decay, indicating breakthrough potential in neutrino studies.
After 2 months of data collection, the CUORE experiment data shows promise with implications for understanding Majorana neutrinos.
Using a double beta decay approach with cryogenic bolometers, the CUORE experiment seeks to shine light on elusive neutrino behaviors.
These initial results support further exploration in particle physics, especially concerning the nature of neutrinos and their mass.

Abstract

CUORE is a large-scale double beta decay experiment that exploits the cryogenic bolometer's technique in a low background setup at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS). CUORE started taking data in March 2017. Its primary goal is to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te and measure the Majorana neutrino mass with a projected sensitivity reaching the so-called inverted mass hierarchy region. I will present here the first physics results from CUORE, from 2 months of collected physics data.
