Measuring the neutrino mass is one of the most compelling issues in particle physics. HOLMES is an experiment for a direct measurement of the neutrino mass. HOLMES will perform a precise measurement of the end point of the electron capture decay spectrum of (Formula presented.) in order to extract information on the neutrino mass with a...

HOLMES is an experiment aimed at directly measuring the neutrino mass through the calorimetric measurement of the 163 Ho electron capture decay. The final goal of the project consists in providing a sensitivity on the neutrino mass below 2 eV; in addition, it will establish the potential of this approach to achieve a sub-eV sensitivity. The...

The HOLMES project aims to directly measure the [Formula presented] mass down to the eV scale using the electron capture decay (EC) of 163 Ho. It will perform a precise calorimetric measurement of the end-point of the Ho energy spectrum looking for the deformation caused by a finite [Formula presented] mass. The choice of 163 Ho as source is...

The assessment of the neutrino absolute mass scale is still a crucial challenge in today particle physics and cosmology. Beta or electron capture spectrum end-point study is currently the only experimental method which can provide a model independent measurement of the absolute scale of neutrino mass. HOLMES is an experiment to directly measure...

The assessment of neutrino absolute mass scale is still a crucial challenge in today particle physics and cosmology. Beta or electron capture spectrum end-point study is currently the only experimental method which can provide a model-independent measurement of the absolute scale of neutrino mass. HOLMES is an experiment funded by the European...

The determination of the neutrino mass is an open issue in modern particle physics and astrophysics. The direct mass measurement is the only theory-unrelated experimental tool capable to probe such quantity. The HOLMES experiment will measure the end-point energy of the electron capture decay of163Ho, aiming at a statistical sensitivity on the...

HOLMES is a new experiment to directly measure the neutrino mass with a sensitivity as low as 0.4 eV. HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the energy released in the electron capture decay of163Ho. HOLMES will deploy a large array of low temperature microcalorimeters with implanted163Ho nuclei. HOLMES baseline detector is an array...
