Large-Volume Electron Spectroscopy for Neutrino Mass Measurement
Neutrinos, assumed massless in the Standard Model of particle physics, must have masses to explain the observation of neutrino oscillations. However, the absolute neutrino mass scale remains elusive. Laboratory measurements using tritium beta decay provide the most direct and model-independent means of determining neutrino mass. Yet, current experiments utilizing molecular tritium sources face fundamental sensitivity limits. This project aims to develop a groundbreaking resonant cavity detector capable of performing neutrino mass measurements with unprecedented precision. Within this project, I will develop and build a resonant cavity, laying the foundations for the next-generation neutrino…
