Description
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an
experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in
Te-130 and other rare processes. CUORE is a bolometric detector
composed of 988 TeO2 crystals, with the total mass of about 1 tonne.
The large detector mass, low backgrounds, and the low energy threshold
of a few keV make the experiment well suited for direct detection of
galactic dark matter particles and solar axions. We discuss the
development of a novel low-energy trigger that enables such searches,
and present the preliminary results from a test run with four
CUORE-like crystals at Gran Sasso National Laboratories in
Italy.
