The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment in Germany has made a notable advancement in the field of particle physics by measuring the upper limit of neutrino mass at 0.45 eV. This achievement is remarkable given the particle's elusive nature, which means it interacts minimally with matter. KATRIN has also enhanced its sensitivity, showing potential to reduce the mass limit further to 0.3 eV. Published findings will be part of a larger dataset from a 1,000-day campaign, which offers a promising outlook for deeper insights into neutrinos.
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment has measured the upper limit of the neutrino's mass to 0.45 electron volts, advancing our understanding of this elusive particle.
With KATRIN’s newly achieved sensitivity increase, researchers are now more optimistic about determining the neutrino's mass, targeting an even lower limit of 0.3 eV by the campaign's conclusion.
