There is no examination at the end of the semester. Instead, we assign you the following homework:
Please read the KATRIN paper, Nature Physics 18 (2022) 160
on the latest measurement of the antineutrino mass, which is discussed in lecture 11, and summarize the content on a maximum of 4 handwritten pages.


Please send us your contribution by Monday, July 25 at 17h00, at the latest.

Based on this homework, we rate your participation in this lecture as passed or not passed. No grades will be awarded.

You could use the following format:

- imagine, you show your write-up to a fellow student, he/she should be able to understand the issue without referring to any other paper.

- no abstract necessary

- no references necessary

- introduction: why is the antineutrino mass important?

- describe the experimental apparatus

- what are the particular difficulties?

- what is the result of the key measurement?

- what is the conclusion/short summary?

- what is your impression, at what value will the antineutrino mass show? Do you see open questions?
