Description
Initially designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay, the CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment also offers a unique opportunity to explore potential dark matter signals at the keV-scale. Leveraging over 2 tonne·yr of TeO$_2$ exposure, we optimized data processing and event-selection techniques, achieving stable detector performance and effective event reconstruction down to thresholds as low as 3 keV. CUORE’s large exposure, segmented detector structure, ultra-low-background environment, and excellent energy resolution enable sensitive searches for cosmic axions originating from the galactic halo, solar axions, and WIMP-induced annual modulation signals. We present our advanced low-energy analysis methods, current status, and future prospects of these ongoing dark matter searches.
