KATRIN is the most sensitive operating experiment to investigate the neutrino mass with a sensitivity of about 300 meV. By measuring the energy spectrum of the decaying tritium near the decay end-point energy, the neutrino mass can be deduced. The LBNL Neutrinos Program uses advanced statistical analysis techniques with NERSC’s HPC system to study the energy spectrum.

Project 8 is a next-generation neutrino-mass experiment using atomic tritium with the potential to reach a mass sensitivity to 40 meV.  The LBNL Neutrinos Program is designing and prototyping the electronics for this experiment.
