In January, María Martínez, UZ MultiDark member, has participated in the maintenance and data taken of CUORE-0 in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (LNGS, Italy).This prototype, the proof-of-concept of CUORE experiment, will very soon surpass the sensitivity to neutrinoless double beta decay of the predecessor, CUORICINO. An optimization of the low energy threshold is ongoing that will also improve the dark matter sensitivity.
