| Description: |
CUPID is a next-generation bolometric experiment aiming atsearching for neutrinoless double-beta decay with ∼250 kg ofisotopic mass of $^{100}$Mo. It will operate at ∼10 mK in acryostat currently hosting a similar-scale bolometric array for theCUORE experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory(Italy). CUPID will be based on large-volume scintillatingbolometers consisting of $^{100}$Mo-enriched Li$_{2}$MoO$_{4}$ crystals,facing thin Ge-wafer-based bolometric light detectors. In the CUPIDdesign, the detector structure is novel and needs to bevalidated. In particular, the CUORE cryostat presents a high levelof mechanical vibrations due to the use of pulse tubes and theeffect of vibrations on the detector performance must beinvestigated. In this paper we report the first test of theCUPID-design bolometric light detectors with NTD-Ge sensors in adilution refrigerator equipped with a pulse tube in an above-groundlab. Light detectors are characterized in terms of sensitivity,energy resolution, pulse time constants, and noise powerspectrum. Despite the challenging noisy environment due topulse-tube-induced vibrations, we demonstrate that all the fourtested light detectors comply with the CUPID goal in terms ofintrinsic energy resolution of 100 eV RMS baseline noise. Indeed,we have measured 70–90 eV RMS for the four devices, which show anexcellent reproducibility. We have also obtained high energyresolutions at the 356 keV line from a $^{133}$Ba source, as goodas Ge semiconductor γ detectors in this energy range. |
