| Project 8: A frequency-based approach to measure the absolute neutrino mass scale |
| Speaker: | Prof. Martin Fertl (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Institut für Physik und PRSIMA+ Cluster of Excellence) |
| Abstract: | Neutrino flavour oscillation experiments prove that at least two neutrinos have finite masses. Extensions to the Standard Model of Particle Physics have been developed to explain the non-zero masses and can be directly tested by a measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale. The mass of the electron anti-neutrino (mν̅e) can be determined from the highest precision measurement of the β-decay spectrum of tritium around its endpoint region (Q = 18.6 keV). The current state of the art experiment stretches all technological limits to probe the range of mν̅e down to 200 meV/c2. A completely new path has to be envisioned to test the full range of mν̅e allowed in the inverted neutrino mass ordering scheme. The Project 8 collaboration has recently demonstrated ...
