摘要
Cuoricino is an array of 56 cryogenic thermal detectors teach detector is a 760 g TeO2 bolometer) devoted to Te-130 neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter searches. The first element of Cuoricino have been succesfully 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 similar to 1000 cryogenic thermal detectors to be used to search for rare events.
