KATRIN Collaboration

The KATRIN Collaboration is an international research project focused on measuring the mass of neutrinos, extremely light and elusive particles that play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. Located in Germany, the KATRIN experiment uses a sophisticated sensor to analyze the energy of electrons emitted from the decay of tritium, a form of hydrogen. By studying these emissions, researchers aim to uncover the neutrino's mass, which could provide insights into fundamental questions in physics, including the nature of dark matter and the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe.
