摘要:
卡尔斯鲁厄氚中微子(KATRIN)实验旨在高精度测量T₂β衰变端点区域的积分能谱,核心目标是探究中微子的绝对质量标度。继2018年首次氚调试运行后,该实验自2019年起常态化运行,前两个测量周期已实现亚eV量级的灵敏度。按设计,经过1000天的数据采集,KATRIN在90%置信水平下的灵敏度可达0.2 eV。本白皮书介绍了KATRIN的当前状态,探讨了其测量中微子质量及其他物理可观测量(包括惰性中微子和其他超出标准模型的假设)的前景,并讨论了有望进一步提升KATRIN灵敏度的研发项目。
英文摘要:
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-precision integral spectrum of the endpoint region of T2 beta decay, with the primary goal of probing the absolute mass scale of the neutrino. After a first tritium commissioning campaign in 2018, the experiment has been regularly running since 2019, and in its first two measurement campaigns has already achieved a sub-eV sensitivity. After 1000 days of data-taking, KATRIN's design sensitivity is 0.2 eV at the 90% confidence level. In this white paper we describe the current status of KATRIN; explore prospects for measuring the neutrino mass and other physics observables, including sterile neutrinos and other beyond-Standard-Model hypotheses; and discuss research-and-development projects that may further improve the KATRIN sensitivity.
