The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) in $^{130}$Te and other rare processes. CUORE is a cryogenic detector composed of 988 TeO$_2$ bolometers for a total mass of about 741 kg. The detector is being constructed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, where it will start taking data in 2015. If the target background of 0.01 counts/(keV$\cdot$kg$\cdot$y) will be reached, in five years of data taking CUORE will have an half life sensitivity around $1\times 10^{26}$ y at 90\% C.L. As a first step towards CUORE a smaller experiment CUORE-0, constructed to test and demonstrate the performances expected for CUORE, has been assembled and is running. The detector is a single tower of 52 CUORE-like bolometers that started taking data in spring 2013. The status and perspectives of CUORE will be discussed, and the first CUORE-0 data will be presented.

CUORE-0 detector: design, construction and operation
CUORE实验将使用排列在19个塔中的988 TeO $_2$测辐射热计阵列来搜索$^{130}$ Te的无中微子双β衰变。CUORE-0是根据CUORE程序组装的第一座塔,在Aguatori Nazionali del Gran Sasso建造并投入使用,并从2013年3月到2015年3月收集数据。在本文中,我们描述了CUORE-0实验的设计,施工和操作,重点是对前身实验,Cuoricino所作的改进。特别是,我们用CUORE-0数据证明了CUORE的设计目标是可以实现的。
Operation and performance of the ICARUS-T600 cryogenic plant at Gran Sasso underground Laboratory
ICARUS T600液氩时间投影室是新一代的第一个大质量电子探测器,它能够将旧泡室的成像能力与出色的量热能量测量相结合。2001年在帕维亚进行了三个月的地面示范运行后,T600低温工厂在可靠性和安全性方面进行了重大修改,考虑到其在地下环境中的长期运行。T600探测器于2010年春季在INFN Gran Sasso实验室的B厅启动,在那里不间断地运行了大约三年,将暴露于欧洲核子研究中心的数据带到Gran Sasso长基线中微子束和宇宙射线。本文详细介绍了T600低温装置以及在液态氩填充结束后不久成功运行探测器的调试程序。讨论了长期地下运行期间的总体电厂性能和稳定性。最后,退役程序,进行了约6个月后,CNGS中微子束操作结束,报告。
