“…Dilution refrigerator technology was originally proposed in the 1950s 22 and underwent considerable development in the 1980s driven also by the application of cryogenic calorimeters for single-particle detection 23 . Gradually, experimental volumes of the order of tens of litres capable of hosting cold masses of up to 60 kg at 10 mK temperature 24 were achieved.…”

“…In the context of this history, the CUORE cryostat represents a major advance in cryogenic technology, reaching an experimental volume of approximately 1 m 3 and a cold mass of 1.5 t (detectors, holders, shields) at 10 mK, which corresponds to a 20-fold improvement in experimental volume and target mass compared to the previous state of the art at this temperature scale. Prior to CUORE, the ultimate temperature for comparable target masses was in the resonant-mass gravitational antenna community at 65 mK 23 .…”

The possibility that neutrinos may be their own antiparticles, unique among the known fundamental particles, arises from the symmetric theory of fermions proposed by Ettore Majorana in 19371. Given the profound consequences of such Majorana neutrinos, among which is a potential explanation for the matter–antimatter asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis2, the Majorana nature of neutrinos commands intense experimental scrutiny globally; one of the primary experimental probes is neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. Here we show results from the search for 0νββ decay of 130Te, using the latest advanced cryogenic calorimeters with the CUORE experiment3. CUORE, operating just 10 millikelvin above absolute zero, has pushed the state of the art on three frontiers: the sheer mass held at such ultralow temperatures, operational longevity, and the low levels of ionizing radiation emanating from the cryogenic infrastructure. We find no evidence for 0νββ decay and set a lower bound of the process half-life as 2.2 × 1025 years at a 90 per cent credibility interval. We discuss potential applications of the advances made with CUORE to other fields such as direct dark matter, neutrino and nuclear physics searches and large-scale quantum computing, which can benefit from sustained operation of large payloads in a low-radioactivity, ultralow-temperature cryogenic environment.

Bolometric Double Beta Decay Experiments: Review and Prospects

This review aims to cover the history and recent developments on cryogenic bolometers for neutrinoless double beta decay (0ν2β) searches. A 0ν2β decay observation would confirm the total lepton charge non-conservation, which is related to a global U(1)LC symmetry. This discovery would also provide essential information on neutrino masses and nature, opening the door to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The bolometric technology shows good prospects for future ton-scale experiments that aim to fully investigate the inverted ordering region of neutrino masses. The big advantage of bolometers is the high energy resolution and the possibility of particle identification, as well as various methods of additional background rejection. The CUORE experiment has proved the feasibility of ton-scale cryogenic experiments, setting the most stringent limit on 130Te 0ν2β decay. Two CUPID demonstrators (CUPID-0 and CUPID-Mo) have set the most stringent limits on 82Se and 100Mo isotopes, respectively, with compatibly low exposures. Several experiments are developing new methods to improve the background in the region of interest with bolometric detectors. CUPID and AMoRE experiments aim to cover the inverted hierarchy region, using scintillating bolometers with hundreds of kg of 100Mo. We review all of these efforts here, with a focus on the different types of radioactive background and the measures put in place to mitigate them.

“…Moreover, these detectors feature a very high 0νββ contain-ment efficiency (∼80 %) as the crystals work both as source and absorber of the decay products. The CUPID experiment is based on years of development of such technology [29,30] culminated in the CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment [31,32]. By collecting more than 1 tonne-year of exposure in stable conditions, CUORE set a fundamental milestone for the next generation experiments searching for rare events with cryogenic calorimeters.…”
