CUORE
The experiment is consists of 988 Tellurio crystals (TeO2). These crystals function both as a signal sourse and as a detector.
Il criostato si compone di un sistema di schermi cilindrici concentrici, ognuno raffreddato a temperature sempre più basse dall’esterno verso l’interno così che il volume centrale occupato dai cristalli, quando il sistema è in funzione, rappresenta il metro cubo più freddo dell’Universo conosciuto.
CUORE (Cryogenic Undregroung Observatory for Rare Events) is located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) and is the largest solid-state cryogenic experiment, bolometer, ever built that works at cryogenic temperatures.
Inside the detector there are also two lead shields that protect it from environmental radioactivity, the outermost one was made using Roman archaeological lead from a wreck sunk in the 1st century B.C near Oristano.
Our service initially took care of designing the screen movement system. Subsequently, it drafted all the technical documentation necessary for carrying out the opening and closing operations of the experiment.
