The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN), a major scientific initiative focused on measuring the mass of neutrinos, was conducted in Germany. Researchers involved in this project analyzed data from five experimental runs between 2019 and 2021, examining over 36 million electron events. Their findings established a new upper limit for the mass of neutrinos, determining that the total mass of the three known types is less than 8.8 × 10⁻⁷ times the mass of an electron. This experiment represents a significant step forward in the field of particle physics and highlights Germany’s leading role in advanced scientific research.
