Determination of neutrino masses, present and future

TL;DR

This paper reviews how neutrino masses are determined through oscillation experiments, kinematic studies, and neutrinoless double beta decay, discussing recent findings and future research directions.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of current methods and future prospects for measuring absolute neutrino masses, highlighting recent experimental results.

Findings

Neutrino oscillation experiments confirm neutrino masses.

Absolute neutrino masses can be probed via weak decays and double beta decay.

Future projects aim to refine neutrino mass measurements.

Abstract

Oscillation experiments show that neutrinos have masses. They however only determine the neutrinop mass differences. Information on the absolute masses can be obtained by studying the kinematics in weak decays, or by searching for neutrinoless double beta decay. Recent results are reviewed, as well as future projects.
