CUORE The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE, pronounced ] ) is a particle physics facility located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in central Italy. CUORE was designed primarily as a search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) in Te, a process that has never been observed. It uses tellurium dioxide (TeO) crystals as both the source of the decay and as bolometers to detect the resulting electrons. CUORE searches for the characteristic signal of 0νββ, a small peak in the observed energy spectrum around the known decay energy; for Te, this is "Q" = 2527.518±0.013 keV. CUORE can also search for signals from dark matter candidates, such as axions and WIMPs.

Cerite Cerite is a complex silicate mineral group containing cerium, formula (Ce,La,Ca)(Mg,Fe)(SiO)(SiOOH)(OH). The cerium and lanthanum content varies with the Ce rich species (cerite-(Ce)) and the La rich species (cerite-(La)). Analysis of a sample from the Mountain Pass carbonatite gave 35.05% CeO and 30.04% LaO.

Sophie Germain Marie-Sophie Germain (] ; 1 April 1776 – 27 June 1831) was a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. Despite initial opposition from her parents and difficulties presented by society, she gained education from books in her father's library including ones by Leonhard Euler and from correspondence with famous mathematicians such as Lagrange, Legendre, and Gauss. One of the pioneers of elasticity theory, she won the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences for her essay on the subject. Her work on Fermat's Last Theorem provided a foundation for mathematicians exploring the subject for hundreds of years after. Because of prejudice against her sex, she was unable to make a career out of mathematics, but she worked independently throughout her life. Before her death Gauss had recommended that she be awarded an honorary degree, but that never occurred. At the centenary of her life, a street and a girls school were named after her. The Academy of Sciences established the Sophie Germain Prize in her honor.
