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...

The CUORICINO results for two neutrino double beta decay of 130Te to the excited state 01+ of 130Xe are presented. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

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...

A resonant circuit tuned to a particular frequency of the motion of charged particles stored in a Penning trap and connected to a low noise amplifier allows, at the same time, cooling and non destructive detection of the particles. Its use is widely diffused when single or few particles are stored near the centre of a hyperbolic Penning trap....

The development of sensitive cryogenic light detectors is of primary interest for bolometric experiments searching for rare events like dark matter interactions or neutrino-less double beta decay. Thanks to their good energy resolution and the natural multiplexed read-out, Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) are particularly suitable for this...

Developing wide-area cryogenic light detectors with baseline resolution better than 20 eV is one of the priorities of next generation bolometric experiments searching for rare interactions, as the simultaneous read-out of the light and heat signals enables background suppression through particle identification. Among the proposed technological...

CUORE, an array of 988 TeO2 bolometers, is about to be one of the most sensitive experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Its sensitivity could be further improved by removing the background from α radioactivity. A few years ago it was pointed out that the signal from βs can be tagged by detecting the emitted Cherenkov light,...

Next-generation experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay must be sensitive to a Majorana neutrino mass as low as 10 meV. CUORE, an array of 988 TeO2 bolometers being commissioned at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, features an expected sensitivity of 50130 meV at 90 % C.L. The background is expected to be dominated bya...

In the view of exploring the inverted hierarchy region future experiments investigating the neutrinoless double beta decay have to demand for detectors with excellent energy resolution and zero background in the energy region of interest. Cryogenic scintillating bolometers are very suitable detectors for this task since they provide particle...

The LUCIFER project aims at deploying the first array of enriched scintillating bolometers for the investigation of neutrinoless double-beta decay of (Formula presented.). The matrix which embeds the source is an array of ZnSe crystals, where enriched (Formula presented.) is used as decay isotope. The radiopurity of the initial components...
