$$\upbeta $$ β -Decay spectrum, response function and statistical model for neutrino mass measurements with the KATRIN experiment

Abstract The objective of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is to determine the effective electron neutrino mass $$m(\upnu _\text {e})$$ m(νe) with an unprecedented sensitivity of $$0.2 \hbox {eV}/\hbox {c}^2$$ 0.2eV/c2 ($$90 \%\,\hbox {C.L.}$$ 90%C.L. ) by precision electron spectr...
