Hunting for the neutrino mass with "cool" detectors: Current research results presented by the ECHo Collaboration are the basis for large-scale experiments to get closer to the mass of "ghost particles" 👉 https://press.uni-mainz.de/hunting-for-the-neutrino-mass-with-cool-detectors/

Latest findings of the KATRIN experiment at @KIT_Karlsruhe indicate that neutrinos are at least a million times lighter than electrons, the lightest electrically charged elementary particles. #MainzUniversity contributed to this international collaboration by analyzing datasets, characterizing plasma systematics, taking shifts to gather new data, and maintaining critical detector hardware. 👉 https://press.uni-mainz.de/neutrinos-are-at-least-a-million-times-lighter-than-electrons/

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with—when it cannot be divided any further—is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary particles, which in turn are made up of quarks and leptons, each of which come in six different flavors. These flavors are grouped into three generations—each with one charged and one neutral lepton—to form different particles, including the electron, muon, and tau neutrinos. In the Standard Model, the masses of the three generations of neutrinos are represented by a three-by-three matrix.
