Description

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in a ton-scale detector, located at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. Utilizing a detector composed of $TeO_2$ crystals, CUORE operates at millikelvin temperatures to achieve sensitive measurements of temperature fluctuations from deposited energy.

A precise understanding of the energy systematics is vital for bolometric experiments. Recent studies of event topologies and energy resolution have indicated potential position-dependent effects in CUORE bolometers. In this poster, we present the design and latest results of a single-crystal experiment, CERES, to further investigate these phenomena.
