Abstract

CUPID-0, an array of ZnSe82 cryogenic calorimeters, was the first medium-scale demonstrator of the scintillating bolometers' technology. The first project phase (March 2017-December 2018) allowed the most stringent limit on the neutrinoless double beta decay half-life of the isotope of interest, Se82, to be set. After a six month long detector upgrade, CUPID-0 began its second and last phase (June 2019-February 2020). In this Letter, we describe the search for neutrinoless double beta decay of Se82 with a total exposure (phase I+II) of 8.82 kg yr-1 of isotope. We set a limit on the half-life of Se82 to the ground state of Kr82 of T1/20ν(Se82)>4.6×1024 yr (90% credible interval), corresponding to an effective Majorana neutrino mass mββ<(263-545) meV. We also set the most stringent lower limits on the neutrinoless decays of Se82 to the 01+, 21+, and 22+ excited states of Kr82, finding 1.8×1023 yr, 3.0×1023 yr, and 3.2×1023 yr (90% credible interval) respectively.
