Advanced Reconstruction Techniques for CUORE: Searching Beyond the Standard Model with Cryogenic Calorimeters by Mayer, Daniel W.

“…We report on a search for FCPs using the first tonne-year of CUORE’s exposure, finding no excess of FCP track candidates over background, and setting leading limits at 90% C.L. on the possible underground flux of FCPs with charges between 1/24 − 1/5 that of an electron. Lastly, we introduce differentiable programming methods for the end-to-end training of neural ordinary differential equations to model thermal pulse dynamics within CUORE calorimeter channels. …”
