Abstract

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a bolometric experiment. CUORE is an array of 988 TeO2 crystals of 750 g each arranged in a cylindrical compact and granular structure of 19 towers. The primary target of CUORE is the observation of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of 130Te. However, thanks to its high mass, the good energy resolution, and the low background the experiment can also be sensitive to other rare processes, such as Dark Matter and neutrinos emitted by core collapse Supernovae, that can be detected via the observation of the target nuclei recoil energy. In this contribution, the sensitivity of CUORE-0 -a prototype towerand the sensitivity of CUORE to an annual signal modulation induced by WIMP Dark Matter candidates and to Supernova neutrinos are presented.
