Abstract
We report the present results of CUORICINO, a search for neutrinoless double-beta () decay of . The detector is an array of 62 bolometers with a total active mass of 40.7 kg. The array is cooled by a dilution refrigerator shielded from environmental radioactivity and energetic neutrons, operated at in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. No evidence for () decay was found and a new lower limit, (90% C.L.) is set, corresponding to to 1.1 eV, depending on the theoretical nuclear matrix elements used in the analysis.
