Abstract

We report on the measurement of the two-neutrino double-beta decay half-life of ¹³⁰Te with the CUORE-0 detector. From an exposure of 33.4 kg year of TeO₂, the half-life is determined to be T_1/2 ^2ν = [8.2 ± 0.2 (stat.) ± 0.6 (syst.)] × 10²⁰ year. 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 ¹³⁰Te neutrinoless double-beta decay region of interest.
