Abstract
A 1-t bolometer detector, aiming at the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay, cold dark matter, and solar axions with extremely high sensitivity, has been proposed (CUORE project). At the moment, the construction of a 42-kg array of 56 TeO2 bolometers (CUORICINO project) has been approved and is financed. CUORICINO will he a Feasibility test for CUORE, while increasing the present sensitivity on 0v beta beta half-life of Te-130 (1 x 10(23) yr, 90% C.L.). The state of the art of CUORICINO, together with the physical motivations and the technical feasibility of the CUORE project, is briefly discussed. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
