“…As previously explained, the large majority of the 2νββ signal events occurs in M 1β/γ . To describe these spectra, CUPID-0 background model uses 33 different sources, identified on the basis of experimental data and previous experimental results obtained in the same infrastructure (CUORE-0 experiment [21]). For the analysis described in this paper, the Lorenz violating 2νββ was added to the background model as an additional contribution.…”

We present the search for Lorentz violation in the double beta decay of 82 Se with CUPID-0, using an exposure of 9.95 kg × yr. We found no evidence for the searched signal and set a limit on the isotropic components of the Lorentz violating coefficient ofå. This results is obtained with a Bayesian analysis of the experimental data and fully includes the systematic uncertainties of the model. This is the first limit onå (3) of obtained with a scintillating bolometer, showing the potentiality of this technique.

“…The experimental signature of 0νββ decay is a sharp peak at the tail end of the two-neutrino double-beta decay (2νββ) summed energy spectrum. The bolometric technique of CUORE offers an excellent energy resolution of ∼ 5 keV FWHM at the Qvalue of 130 Te, 2527.5 keV [3][4][5], which suppresses the 2νββ decay background leaking into the 0νββ decay signal region of interest (ROI) [6].…”

CUORE is a tonne-scale cryogenic detector operating at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) that uses tellurium dioxide bolometers to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130 Te. CUORE is also suitable to search for low energy rare events such as solar axions or WIMP scattering, thanks to its ultra-low background and large target mass. However, to conduct such sensitive searches requires improving the energy threshold to 10 keV. In this paper, we describe the analysis techniques developed for the low energy analysis of CUORE-like detectors, using the data acquired from November 2013 to March 2015 by CUORE-0, a singletower prototype designed to validate the assembly procedure and new cleaning techniques of CUORE. We explain the energy threshold optimization, continuous monitoring of the trigger efficiency, data and event selection, and energy calibration at low energies in detail. We also present the low energy background spectrum of CUORE-0 below 60 keV. Finally, we report the sensitivity of CUORE to WIMP annual modulation using the CUORE-0 energy threshold and background, as well as an estimate of the uncertainty on the nuclear quenching factor from nuclear recoils inCUORE-0.
