1 The KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment
Diana Parno Carnegie Mellon University Lake Louise Winter Institute 23 February 2017

2 The Neutrino Mass Scale
Lightest n mass m1 (eV/c2) Neutrino mass mi (eV/c2) Normal hierarchy Lower bound on m2, m3 from oscillation Upper bound from b decay KATRIN design ? (quasidegenerate regime) (Mainz, Troitsk) Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment

3 Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment
From T2 to mnb Extract m2nb from fit to spectral shape near endpoint 3H 3He e- ne Almost model-independent mnb = 0 eV mnb = 1 eV 2x10-13 decays in last eV Q = 18.6 keV Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment

4 KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino
Intense T2 source (1011 decays/second) Spectrum analysis with electromagnetic filter Design resolution 0.93 eV Design mnb sensitivity: eV/c2 at 90% confidence level Leopoldshafen November 2006 Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment

5 Putting It All Together

6 Spectrometer Background
2015 commissioning revealed high backgrounds ~50x higher than design value (10 mcps) Primary mechanism: 210Po decay in wall Secondary particles via sputtering Rydberg atoms (H*) enter flux tube H* ionized via blackbody radiation Low-energy e- created in flux tube!

12 Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment
2017: A Busy Year Right now: Analysis of commissioning data (up to late 2016) Maintenance, upgrades, software work preparing for: Summer/Fall 2017: System commissioning with 83mKr, H2, and D2 Late 2017: First tritium data And beyond: Early mass results (final sensitivity: 3 beam yrs) Sterile neutrino searches Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model Diana Parno -- KATRIN Neutrino Mass Experiment
