DOIAbstract
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 of [superscript 82]Se neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ). CUPID-0 aims at measuring a background index in the region of interest (RoI) for 0νββ at the level of 10 [superscript -3] counts/(keV kg years), the lowest value ever measured using cryogenic detectors. CUPID-0 operates an array of Zn [superscript 82]Se scintillating bolometers coupled with bolometric light detectors, with a state of the art technology for background suppression and thorough protocols and procedures for the detector preparation and construction. In this paper, the different phases of the dete...
