Optimal Particle identification Of Single Site events with Underground MKIDs detectors
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) would revolutionise our understanding of neutrinos by affirming their Majorana nature and shedding light on their absolute mass scale and hierarchy. Detecting its monochromatic peak at MeV levels, with half-lives over 1026 years, is a significant challenge. Scientists are striving to push the scale of experimental exposures to tons of material per years. It is only in a background-free experiment that sensitivity scales linearly with exposure, maximising the benefits of increased detector mass. The forefront of this search lies with ton-scale arrays of bolometers at mK temperatures, such as CUORE, which investigates 0νββ in 130Te…
