CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) is a ton-scale experiment located at LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) in Italy whose goal is to search for neutrino-less double beta decay (0 υββ ) in 130 Te. CUORE exploits an array of 988 TeO 2 crystals operated as Low-Temperature Detectors (LTDs) at 10 mK. These detectors show an excellent energy resolution, making the experiment one of the most competitive 0 υββ searches in the world. In this scenario, the proposed research deals with the generation of synthetic (mock) data for the study of the CUORE detector response function. The production of synthetic data is a new tool we designed to consider all the missing information from a Montecarlo simulation: the detector non-idealities, as well as noise and pulse shape. The mock data are processed with the CUORE official analysis software, allowing us the evaluation of its impact on the final results.
