We are excited to announce that today we published our new results on the search for neutrinoless double beta decay on Nature. Our new data show that this decay in tellurium doesn’t happen for trillion of trillion of years, if it happens at all. CUORE’s limits on the bizarre behavior of neutrinos are a crucial part of the search for the next breakthrough in particle and nuclear physics – and the search for our own origins!

Siamo felicissimi di annunciare che oggi abbiamo pubblicato il nostro nuovo risultato per la ricerca del doppio decadimento beta senza neutrini sulla rivista Nature. Da questo risultato è possibile stabilire che un atomo di tellurio impiega più di 22 milioni di miliardi di miliardi di anni per decadere. I nuovi limiti di CUORE sul comportamento dei neutrini sono cruciali nella ricerca di una possibile nuova scoperta della fisica delle particelle, che sarebbe rivoluzionaria perché aiuterebbe a comprendere le nostre stesse origini.

Insights from the last CUORE collaboration meeting, November 2021: in spite of the pandemic we managed to meet and discuss together our plans for the future so stay tuned! We hope the next time we will see each other in person

14/04/2021

The CUORE experiment has reached a huge milestone. We have officially collected physics data totalling one metric tonne-year (1TY) of exposure! To mark this milestone, the CUORE collaboration has completed a new analysis of the 1TY dataset. Two members of our collaboration will be sharing the results in upcoming talks. Dr. Laura Marini (Gran Sasso Science Institute & INFN-LNGS) will be giving a seminar at Gran Sasso National Lab (LNGS) on Wednesday, April 14 at 3:00 PM CEST. Roger Huang (UC Berkeley & Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) will be giving a seminar at Berkeley on Wednesday, April 14 at 12:00 PM PDT. We hope you will join us as we share our new results with the world!

Thomas O’Donnell, Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech, presents the most recent results from , including the most precise measurement of the half life of the 2v double beta decay of 130Te. The latest results from the CUORE experiment on our background model are also released at the first ever virtual Neutrino conference, . This important work helps pave the way for CUPID, a future upgrade to CUORE. Many young members of the Collaboration got a chance to present posters about their work as well. The quest for new physics doesn’t stop! Stay hungry, stay safe.

CUORE Collaboration Meeting, May 2020: the pandemic didn’t stop the search for Majorana neutrinos, and the collaboration gathers to discuss the next steps to track it down.
So close, and yet so far away!

These are challenging times for everyone, and operating a large experiment poses some unique challenges in the best of times. Check out the following news item to see how has adapted to keep operating and acquiring data while putting a priority on the safety of everyone involved: https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2020/05/12/cuore-experiment-in-italy-carries-on-despite-covid-pandemic/ (Photo: L.

has elected a new Spokesperson! Congratulations and thanks to Carlo Bucci of LNGS (left), who has been voted to this important position! Many thanks to the previous spokesperson Oliviero Cremonesi for guiding the experiment for the past 8 years. Oliviero has recently been elected the president of the INFN National Committee for Astroparticle Physics, and in this role will continue to have a major impact on the field.

We are proud to announce that Physical Review Letters has published the latest results with the distinction of Editor’s Suggestion! This new sets the most stringent limit on the 130Te 0vbb decay half-life. Thanks to all the CUORE collaboration for the constant effort that has resulted in a large amount of new data and this world-leading result!

**** C for Cryogenic — part 2 ****
❄❄❄
How do we reach and maintain 10 mK? Let’s thank our for this! This is the largest and the most powerful cryogenic system of its kind. It can cool-down and keep for several months a volume as large as a cubic meter at a temperature lower than the average of our known ! The six layers you can see are copper shields, kept at progressively decreasing temperatures to minimize the heat transfer from room temperature to the detector region, in a sort of onion-like structure. The innermost and coldest stage, hosts the detectors, which are protected from external radioactivity by a layer lead (in grey). : part of this lead is from the Ancient Romans…. stay tuned to know more!
