Description
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an
experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0nuDBD) in
Te-130 and other rare processes. The observation of 0nuDBD would
indicate that neutrinos are Majorana particles and would provide
information about the absolute neutrino mass scale. CUORE is a
bolometric detector composed of 988 TeO2 crystals, with the total mass
of about 750 kg of natural Tellurium. We will discuss the status of
the CUORE experiment, including recent R&D efforts, anticipated
sensitivity, and present the most recent results from Cuoricino, the
predecessor experiment operated in Gran Sasso National Laboratories in
Italy.
