Description
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νDBD) in Te-130 and other rare processes. The observation of 0νDBD 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 that will be operated in the hall A of the Gran Sasso underground Laboratory to shield cosmic rays. The status of the CUORE experiment will be discussed including recent R&D efforts, anticipated sensitivity, and background evaluations. The installation of CUORE-0 detector, the first tower of CUORE, is ongoing. Preliminary results will be discussed considering all the possible aspects that are crucial to reach the goal of the CUORE experiment.
