We present the search for Lorentz violation in the double beta decay of Se-82 with CUPID-0, using an exposure of 9.95 kg x yr. We found no evidence for the searched signal and set a limit on the isotropic components of the Lorentz violating coefficient of (a) over circle ((3))(of) < 4.1 x 10(-6) GeV (90% credible interval). This results is...

Cryogenic calorimeters are currently used by experiments searching for neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ). The sensitivity of these experiments is limited by the background coming from α radioactive contaminations. This background can be rejected exploiting the simultaneous readout of light and heat in scintillating cryogenic calorimeters,...

The CUPID-0 detector hosted at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, is the first large array of enriched scintillating cryogenic detectors for the investigation of82Se neutrinoless double-beta decay (0). CUPID-0 aims at measuring a background index in the region of interest (RoI) for 0at the level of 10- 3 counts/(keV kg years), the...

The CUPID-0 experiment searches for double beta decay using cryogenic calorimeters with double (heat and light) read-out. The detector, consisting of 24 ZnSe crystals 95% enriched in 82 Se and two natural ZnSe crystals, started data-taking in 2017 at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. We present the search for the neutrino-less double beta...

The suppression of spurious events in the region of interest for neutrinoless double beta decay will play a major role in next generation experiments. The background of detectors based on the technology of cryogenic calorimeters is expected to be dominated by α particles, that could be disentangled from double beta decay signals by exploiting...

CUPID-0 is an array of 24 Zn82Se scintillating bolometers used to search for the 0νββ decay of 82Se. It is the first large mass 0νββ experiment exploiting a double read-out technique: the phonon signal to accurately measure particle energies and the light signal to reject the α-induced background. Its success might open the road to a next...
