Description
Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay is a rare transition that violates the lepton number by 2 units and is possible only if the neutrino is a massive Majorana particle: these properties makes the search for this decay a unique tool to probe neutrino properties. In this talk we will present the status of the CUORE experiment on Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of 130Te. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a bolometric detector composed of 988 Tellurium dioxide crystals, with the total mass of about 750~kg of natural Tellurium. We will discuss its recent R&D efforts, anticipated sensitivity, and present the most recent result from Cuoricino, the predecessor experiment of CUORE, which was the largest bolometric experiment ever realized until now.
