BINGO will set the grounds for a large-scale bolometric experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with a background index of about 10-5 counts/(keV kg y) and with very high energy resolution – of the order of 1.5‰ – in the region of interest. These features will enable a search for lepton number violation with unprecedented sensitivity. The BINGO approach can lead to the demonstration of the Majorana nature of neutrino even in the unfavourable case of direct ordering of neutrino masses. BINGO is based on luminescent bolometers for the rejection of the dominant alpha surface background. It will focus on two extremely promising isotopes – 100Mo and 130Te – that have…
