The European Research Council has recently founded HOLMES, an experiment for a direct neutrino mass measurement with a sensitivity as low as 0.4 eV. HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the the energy released in the Electron Capture (EC) spectrum of 163Ho. The neutrino mass is assessed from the end point of the spectrum; the...

CUPID-0 is the first large mass experiment based on cryogenic calorimeters (bolometers) that implements the dual read-out of light and heat for background rejection. The detector, consisting of 24 enriched Zn82Se crystals (5.28 kg of 82Se), is taking data in the underground LNGS (Italy) from March 2017. In this contribution we present the...

CUPID-0 is the first large array of scintillating Zn82Se cryogenic calorimeters (bolometers) implementing particle identification for the search of the neutrinoless double beta decay (0nbb). The detector consists of 24 enriched Zn82Se bolometers for a total 82Se mass of 5.28 kg and it has been taking data in the underground LNGS (Italy) since...
