KATRIN First neutrino mass result

Lutz Schimpf

Karlsruhe Institute of Technologie

Abstrakt:

The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) is targeted to measure the mass of the electron neutrino from beta-decay of tritium with an unprecedented sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2 at 90% confidence level. After a first Tritium campaign with a low tritium purity of around 0.5% and a Deuterium campaign to study systematics in 2018, the very first KATRIN neutrino mass run was performed in April and May of this year. The analysis of the first 274 beta spectrum scans close to the kinematic endpoint at 18.57 keV gives an improved upper limit of m(ν) < 1.1 eV (90% CL) on the absolute mass scale of neutrinos.

This talk gives an overview of the measurement principle and the complex experimental setup of KATRIN as well as its performance during the first KATRIN science run. The presentation is concluded by discussing the data taking and analysis leading to the new upper neutrino mass limit.
