The Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers (CRESST), located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (INFN, Italy), targets the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM) via nuclear recoils in cryogenic CaWO$_4$ detectors instrumented with tungsten Transition Edge Sensors (W-TES). Operating at millikelvin temperatures, these detectors combine phonon and light...

The absolute value of the neutrino mass 𝑚𝜈remains one of the key missing pieces in the Standard Model. Its value plays a fundamental role in shaping the formation of large-scale structures in the Universe. The only model-independent method to determine 𝑚𝜈relies on direct kinematic measurements of the electrons emitted in beta decay processes. Current experimental approaches fall into two...

CUPID — CUORE Upgrade with Particle Identification — is the ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay (NLDBD) experiment at LNGS. CUPID will be mounted in the CUORE cryostat, leveraging the existing cryogenic infrastructure and a decade of experience operating the largest bolometer array in existence. CUPID will deploy 1600 Li2MoO4 scintillating bolometers with the dual heat-light readout to...
