Abstract
A method is proposed for measuring the tritium beta spectrum in order to determine the electron antineutrino rest mass. This method includes an electrostatic integral spectrometer with adiabatic collimation. The use of a source in the form of atomic polarized tritium in a strong magnetic field or of a gaseous molecular source is considered.

Improved Upper Limit on the Neutrino Mass from a Direct Kinematic Method by KATRIN

M. Aker, +208 more
TL;DR: An upper limit of 1.1 eV (90% confidence level) is derived on the absolute mass scale of neutrinos on the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN, which improves upon previous mass limits from kinematic measurements by almost a factor of 2 and provides model-independent input to cosmological studies of structure formation.
