Description
KATRIN is probing the effective electron anti-neutrino mass by a precision measurement of the tritium beta-decay spectrum near the kinematic endpoint. Based on the first two measurement campaigns a world-leading upper limit of 0.8 eV (90% CL) was placed. New operational conditions for an improved signal-to-background ratio, the steady reduction of systematic uncertainties and a substantial increase in statistics allow us to expand this reach. Our poster displays the KATRIN neutrino mass analysis and provides insight into the neutral network approach used to perform the computationally challenging analysis.
