Description
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a ton scale experimental search for 0$\nu\beta\beta$ decay on ${}^{130}$Te. The CUORE detector consists of 988 TeO$_2$ crystals operating as cryogenic bolometers at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy. While simulations suggest that about 11\% of 0$\nu\beta\beta$ decay events deposit energy in more than one crystal, the standard CUORE analysis considers only single-site events. In this talk we present the preliminary results of the search using dual-site events in CUORE, including the analysis techniques used to reconstruct the energy, suppress backgrounds, and estimate future sensitivity.
