CUORE and CUORE-0 status: toward a next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) experiment will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te and other rare events. The first step towards the experiment is CUORE-0, a single CUORE-like tower that will operate in the former CUORICINO cryostat. CUORE-0 will validate the assembly procedure and serve as a sensitive experiment in its own right. The status of CUORE and CUORE-0 and their sensitivities are reported.
