DESCRIPTION:Seb Jones\n\nThe QTNM collaboration: a project for absolute neu
 trino mass measurement\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe observation of neutrino oscillat
 ions provides proof of non-zero neutrino masses\, something which was not p
 redicted in the minimal Standard Model. However\, these same neutrino oscil
 lation experiments do not provide information on the absolute scale of the 
 neutrino masses\, which remain unknown. The neutrino masses are most direct
 ly accessed through those experiments which measure the shape of the beta-d
 ecay energy spectrum. In particular\, a technique known as Cyclotron Radiat
 ion Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) offers the opportunity to measure neutrino
  masses lower than the current upper mass limit of 0.8 eV achieved by the K
 ATRIN collaboration. The Quantum Technologies for Neutrino Mass (QTNM) coll
 aboration aims to utilise CRES\, along with recent breakthroughs in quantum
  technologies\, to build a demonstrator apparatus for measuring the neutrin
 o mass. It is hoped that this demonstrator will make significant contributi
 ons towards an experiment with a neutrino mass sensitivity of O(10 meV). I 
 will present an overview of the principles of neutrino mass measurement as 
 well as the QTNM collaboration
