Abstract
Cryogenic calorimetric detectors are a powerful tool in the search for rare events such as neutrinoless double beta decay (0ν β β), due to their excellent energy resolution and low intrinsic background. The performance of these detectors depends critically on a precise understanding of their energy scale and energy resolution. Recent studies suggest that both energy scale and energy resolution may vary depending on the spatial location and topology of energy deposition within the detector, indicating the presence of previously uncharacterized systematic effects. The Cryogenic Experiment to Reconstruct Energy Systematics (CERES) is a dedicated experiment designed to directly measure the position dependence of calorimetric response in Tellurium Dioxide (TeO2) crystals. This paper details the experimental design, current status, and future upgrade plans for CERES.
