KATRIN: Status and Prospects for the Neutrino Mass and Beyond
read the original abstract
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-precision integral spectrum of the endpoint region of T2 beta decay, with the primary goal of probing the absolute mass scale of the neutrino. After a first tritium commissioning campaign in 2018, the experiment has been regularly running since 2019, and in its first two measurement campaigns has already achieved a sub-eV sensitivity. After 1000 days of data-taking, KATRIN's design sensitivity is 0.2 eV at the 90% confidence level. In this white paper we describe the current status of KATRIN; explore prospects for measuring the neutrino mass and other physics observables, including sterile neutrinos and other beyond-Standard-Model hypotheses; and discuss research-and-development projects that may further improve the KATRIN sensitivity.

Baryon and lepton asymmetry of the Universe in the left-right asymmetry model of weak interaction
In the left-right model, differing neutron and antineutron decay rates from sign-different W boson mixing produce baryon asymmetry at the hadronization transition, with sterile neutrinos generating compensating lepton...

Baryon and lepton asymmetry of the Universe in the left-right asymmetry model of weak interaction
In the left-right asymmetry model, differing neutron and antineutron lifetimes during the QCD phase transition generate baryon asymmetry while escaping sterile neutrinos produce opposite lepton asymmetry.
