Description
CUORE is a 741 kg array of TeO$_2$ bolometers for the search of neurinoless double beta decay in Te-130.
The detector is being constructed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, where it will start taking data in 2014.
If the target background of 0.01 counts/(keV kg y) will be reached, in five years of data taking CUORE will have an half life sensitivity of about 10$^{26}$ y.
CUORE-0 is a smaller experiment constructed to test and demonstrate the performances expected for CUORE.
The detector is a single tower of 52 CUORE-like bolometers that started taking data in spring 2013.
The status and perspectives of CUORE will be discussed, and the first CUORE-0 data will be presented.
