Abstract CUPID, the CUORE Upgrade with Particle Identification, is a next-generation experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay ( $$0\mathrm {\nu \beta \beta }$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ) and other rare events using enriched Li $$_{2}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mrow/> </mml:mmultiscripts> </mml:math> $$^{100}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mn>100</mml:mn> </mml:mmultiscripts> </mml:math> MoO $$_{4}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> <mml:mrow/> </mml:mmultiscripts> </mml:math> scintillating bolometers. It will be hosted by the CUORE cryostat located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy.
