Further developments in mechanical decoupling of large thermal detectors

The noise induced by vibrations represents a serious problem for large thermal detectors. This noise affects the energy resolution of the detectors resulting, in most cases, in a large decrease of the measurement live time. A new damping system was constructed and tested to avoid this problem in view of the CUORE Experiment. Starting from the CUORICINO Experiment, we developed a more efficient double stage damping system inside the CUORE R&D cryostat. The results obtained by direct comparison with the CUORICINO array show that the noise induced by vibration in the new setup is three orders of magnitude smaller with respect to CUORICINO.
