Abstract:
CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) is an experiment which aims to exploit the cryogenic bolometer technique at an unprecedented scale to achieve a half-life sensitivity of 10^26 years for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. With this sensitivity the inverted hierarchy region of neutrino masses will be touched. The detector, which consists of a close-packed array of TeO2 crystals cooled to an operating temperature of about 10mK, just started taking data.
After a short introduction to the physics of neutrinoless double beta decay, the TeO2 bolometric technology including the results obtained since now. The status of CUORE and its perspectives will be discussed.
Finally, the new technologies that are being developed for the next generation experiments will be briefly described.
