CUORE-0 is a cryogenic detector that uses an array of tellurium dioxide bolometers to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te. We present the first data analysis with 7.1kg · y of total TeO2 exposure focusing on background measurements and energy resolution. The background rates in the neutrinoless double-beta decay region of...

Neutrinoless double-beta (0]) decay is a hypothesized lepton-number-violating process that offers the only known means of asserting the possible Majorana nature of neutrino mass. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an upcoming experiment designed to search for 0] decay of 130Te using an array of 988 TeO2 crystal...

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is one of the most sensitive probes for physics beyond the Standard Model, providing unique information on the nature of neutrinos. In this paper we reviewthe status and outlook for bolometric 0νββ decay searches.We summarize recent advances in background suppression demonstrated using bolometers with...
