Speaker
Description
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims to measure the effective mass of the electron antineutrino with a sensitivity of at least 0.3 eV/c² (90% C.L.) by analyzing the endpoint region of the kinematic tritium β-decay spectrum. Using a high-luminosity gaseous molecular tritium source with a high-resolution electrostatic spectrometer with magnetic adiabatic collimation, a new upper limit of 0.45 eV/c² (90% C.L.) on the neutrino mass could recently be set by KATRIN, using the first 25% of the total expected dataset. This talk gives an overview of the latest KATRIN results on neutrino mass and the search for sterile neutrinos, and concludes with an outlook on future prospects of KATRIN.
