Current Direct Neutrino Mass Experiments
In this contribution, we review the status and perspectives of direct neutrino mass experiments, which investigate the kinematics of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>β</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>-decays of specific isotopes ( 3 H, 187 Re, 163 Ho) to derive model-independent information on the averaged electron (anti)neutrino mass. After discussing the kinematics of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>β</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>-decay and the …
