Description
KATRIN project has a goal to set electron antineutrino mass upper limit at 0.2 eV level. Installation construction at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) proceeds to it final stage. Inner electrodes are installed inside the main spectrometer and first background tests are launched. Windowless gaseous tritium source (WGTS) temperature stabilization was proven to provide 20 mK temperature uniformity. WGTS superconducting coils are under construction. INR RAS participates in the Rear Wall subproject. RW should control gaseous tritium electric potential uniformity inside WGTS via plasma generated by tritium beta-electrons. Set of experimental test is planned at INR “Troitsk nu-mass” spectrometer.
