Studying Track-Like Events with CUORE

Located underground within the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, CUORE is the first tonne-scale operating cryogenic neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment. While modest in volume compared to traditional tracking detectors, its size and segmented geometry are sufficient for reconstructing through-going high-energy particles, such as cosmic ray muons which survive the journey underground. Analyses are underway to leverage CUORE as a segmented detector for particle tracking, aided by algorithms using multi-objective optimization to reconstruct such events with high fidelity. Currently, the application of these efforts is two-pronged: firstly, to enable the in situ study of cosmic ray muons in CUORE, and to characterize any remaining cosmogenically-induced backgrounds while underground. Secondly, to exploit CUORE's low-background environment to search for exotic track-like phenomena, such as Beyond-the-Standard Model fractionally-charged particles which would exhibit suppressed energy depositions across the detector. This presentation will provide an overview of the track-like program in CUORE.
