Abstract
The CUORICINO experiment was an array of 62 TeO single-crystal bolometers with a total Te mass of kg. The experiment finished in 2008 after more than 3 yr of active operating time. Searches for both and double- decay to the first excited state in Xe were performed by studying different coincidence scenarios. The analysis was based on data representing a total exposure of (Te)yr. No evidence for a signal was found. The resulting lower limits on the half-lives are yr (90 C.L.), and yr (90 CL).
