    CUORICINO: final results

    No full text
    CUORICINO, the predecessor experiment of CUORE, was operated in Gran Sasso National Laboratories in Italy and demonstrated the feasibility of CUORE. The CUORICINO detector was an array of large cubic TeO2 crystals summing up to the total mass of 40.7 kg. CUORICINO stopped the data taking in middle 2008. We present the CUORICINO detector performances and final experimental results in double beta decay, on ground and excited states of 130Te and on 120Te, together with the total data analysis that is of fundamental interest in the prediction of the expected CUORE background

    CUORE is a 741 kg array of TeO2 bolometers for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay in 130Te. The detector is being constructed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, where it will start taking data in 2015. If the target background of 0.01 counts/(keV·kg·y) will be reached, in five years of data taking CUORE will have a half life sensitivity of ∼ 1026 y. CUORE-0 is a smaller experiment constructed to test and demonstrate the performances expected for CUORE. The detector is a single tower of 52 CUORE-like bolometers that started taking data in spring 2013. The status and perspectives of the CUORE and CUORE-0 experiments will be presented
