The Electron Capture Decay of 163Ho to Measure the Electron Neutrino Mass with sub-eV sensitivity - HOLMES European Research Council (ERC)  Advanced Grant n. 340321 - HOLMES Principal Investigator: Prof. S. Ragazzi February 1st, 2014 - January 31st, 2020 Host Institution: INFN Additional beneficiary: Università di Milano-Bicocca (Scientific Coordinator A. Nucciotti)

The HOLMES experiment is aimed at directly measuring the electron neutrino mass using the electron capture (EC) decay of ¹⁶³Ho. The official HOLMES webpage is here!

CUPID (CUORE Upgrade with Particle Identification) is the upgrade of the CUORE experiment. CUPID is a leading next generation of rare event experiments. Designed to search and investigate the 100Mo double beta decay aims at reducing CUORE radioactive background by 2 order of magnitudes. It will enable the exploration of the inverted hierarchy of the neutrino masses and to access rare processes with probabilities as low as 10^-27 y^-1.
