Description

Next generation neutrinoless double beta experiments aims at covering the inverted hierarchy region of the neutrino mass spectrum, with sensitivities on the half-lives greater than 10$^{27}$ years. The CUPID experiment will exploit cryogenic calorimeters to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{100}$Mo. To reach the target sensitivities one of the key requirements is the understanding and control of the backgrounds. The poster will detail the background sources relevant to the CUPID experiment. We will show the estimation of the background index for each of the sources, based on background models of past experiments and from detector performances in R&D tests.
