Summary
CUORE is an experiment that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te.
The detector is composed by 988 TeO2 bolometers, 750 g each, arranged in a structure of
19 towers and is now in its final commissioning phase at LNGS, Italy. CUORE-0 is a single
CUORE-like tower that was run from March 2013 to July 2015 to test the performance
of the CUORE experiment. In this talk we present the results of the model developed to
analyze the CUORE-0 energy spectrum, disentangling the amount and the position of the
background sources that combine to form the observed spectrum. A direct outcome of
this analysis is the measurement of the 130Te betabeta2nu decay half-life, of which we provide
a preliminary evaluation.
