Cuoricino
• Cuoricino collected data at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso between 2003 and 2008
• It is an array of 5x5x5 cm3 TeO2 cryogenic bolometers devoted to the search of 0nbb decay in 130Te
• Cuoricino has a mass of 42 kg (11.8 kg in 130Te)
• The accumulated statistics is 19.8 kg y in ∙ 130Te
• The average energy resolution is 7 keV FWHM at 2.6 MeV
