Abstract

The cryogenic underground observatory for rare events (CUORE) is a cryogenic experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (\(0\nu \beta \beta\)) of \({^{130}\hbox {Te}}\). The detector consists of an array of \(988\,{\hbox {TeO}_{2}}\) crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. We report the CUORE initial operations and optimization campaigns. We then present the CUORE results on \(0\nu \beta \beta\) and \(2\nu \beta \beta\) decay of \({^{130}\hbox {Te}}\) obtained from the analysis of the physics data acquired in 2017.
