The international project "Microcalorimeter Arrays for a Rhenium
Experiment" (MARE) aims at a direct and calorimetric measurement of
the electron antineutrino mass with sub-electronvolt sensitivity.
The experimental strategy consists in analysing the beta spectrum of
187Re near the end-point looking for the spectral distortion
expected for a finite antineutrino mass....

At GSI Darmstadt, we have studied the decay of highly-charged heavy
ions, stored and cooled in the experimental storage ring, ESR, by
means of time-resolved Schottky-noise mass spectroscopy. The Fast
Fourier Transform, FFT, of the Schottky noise is a non-destructive,
non-instantaneous detection method, sensitive to a single heavy ion
circulating in the ring. We have...

The KArlsruher TRItium Neutrino experiment KATRIN is going to search
for the neutrino mass from the endpoint region of the tritium beta
decay spectrum with one order of magnitude higher sensitivity of 0.2
eV/c2 compared to previous direct neutrino mass experiments. This
sensitvity will allow to distinguish between hierarchical and
quasi-degenerate neutrino mass...
