Copyright policy )Measurement of the two-neutrino double-beta decay half-life of $$^{130}$$Te with the CUORE-0 experiment
We report on the measurement of the two-neutrino double beta decay half-life of $^{130}$Te with the CUORE-0 detector. From an exposure of 33.4 kg$\cdot$y of TeO$_2$, the half-life is determined to be $T_{1/2}^{2��}$ = [8.2 $\pm$ 0.2 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.6 (syst.)] $\times$ 10$^{20}$y. This result is obtained after a detailed reconstruction of the sources responsible for the CUORE-0 counting rate, with a specific study of those contributing to the $^{130}$Te neutrinoless double beta decay region of interest.
Corrected typo in section 9: 3.43E5 Bq/kg should have read 3.43E-5 Bq/kg
