1. The electron endpoint from accelerated ions - a new route to the neutrino mass scale?

We introduce the possibility of determining the neutrino mass scale from monitoring the decays of a crystalised beam. Through the careful control of the beam momentum, one can perform a 'cut' on the electron spectrum with only electrons near the endpoint traveling backwards in the laboratory frame. The idea is introduced with the results from preliminary simulations presented.

10. Measuring the neutrino mass from large scale structure

Future large scale structure surveys provide one of the most promising techniques for probing the neutrino mass. I will present results from detailed N-body simulations of structure formation in models with neutrino mass. Such simulations are necessary for the next generation of surveys such as the LSST

11. The GSI anomaly and neutrino mixing

Prof. Manfred Lindner (Max Planck Institut fuer Kernphysik)

It will be shown why the GSI anomaly can in principle not be due to neutrino mixing.
