KATRIN
Abstract:
While neutrino oscillations have proven that neutrinos have mass, they cannot assess its absolute value. The KATRIN experiment measures the neutrino mass directly using the kinematics of beta-decay. This thesis applies a novel analysis approach based on Monte Carlo propagation of uncertainty to the first two measurement phases, limiting the neutrino mass to less than 0.8 eV (90% CL). In addition, a future proof analysis approximating the KATRIN model with a neural network is explained.
