CUORE, CUPID, and the Search for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a cryogenic calorimetric experiment with the primary goal to search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 \nu \beta \beta$). Located at the LNGS in Italy, CUORE detector consists of an array of 988 Te0$_2$ crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. CUORE reached it's base temperature of 10 mK and began collecting physics data in 2017. This talk will present the results from CUORE's latest search for $0 \nu \beta \beta$ in $^{130}$Te utilizing two tonne-years of Te0$_2$ exposure. The status and ongoing work on CUPID~(CUORE Upgrade with Particle IDentification), the experimental upgrade to CUORE will further be presented.
