The first step toward CUORE: Cuoricino, a thermal detector array to rare events

Description

Cuoricino is an array of 56 cryogenic thermal detectors (each detector is a 760 g TeO2 bolometer) devoted to 130Te neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter searches. The first element of Cuoricino have been successfully tested in Gran Sasso laboratories reaching an energy resolution and an energy threshold better than the one foreseen in Cuoricino proposal. Cuoricino is also intended as the first milestone of CUORE: an array of ∼1000 cryogenic thermal detectors to be used to search for rare events
