Searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with CUORE

by Dr. Jorge Torres (Yale University)

Wednesday, 25 May 2022 from to (Mexico/General)
at IFUNAM ( Seminario virtual vía Zoom )
Description

We do not know whether neutrinos are their own antiparticle. Neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay is a theorized radioactive decay process that would prove that neutrinos are their own antiparticle, and it would also be the first signal of lepton number violation. The discovery of this “matter-creating” process can provide information on the neutrino mass hierarchy as well as information on the absolute mass of neutrinos. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy is the first one-tonne scale cryogenic experiment searching for 0νββ decay in Tellurium-130. In this talk, I will present CUORE’s latest results [Nature 604, 53–58 (2022)] as well as provide a look at the future of 0νββ decay searches with the successor of CUORE: the CUPID experiment.
