Detector Response to Seismic Activity in CUORE*

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a ton-scale detector searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), Italy. The experiment is an array of 988 TeO2 crystals, each of which is a highly sensitive calorimeter detecting temperature fluctuations at the millikelvin level arising from energy depositions. The excellent energy resolution of the calorimeters is critical to the search for 0νββ and other rare events. In this talk, we discuss studies of correlations between seismic activity and increased noise in the detector, which may contribute to degraded energy resolution.
