Descripción
Project 8 is a direct neutrino mass experiment that has developed a new technique, Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES), to make a differential measurement of the tritium $\beta^{-}$ spectrum. Project 8 aims to use the advantages of CRES to surmount the systematic and statistical limitations of current-generation direct neutrino mass measurement methods, proceeding in a phased approach toward a goal of effective electron antineutrino mass sensitivity of ${\sim}$40 meV/c$^2$ using atomic tritium. This talk will report on the progress toward Phase III free-space CRES and atomic tritium demonstrations, which will enable the advances in energy resolution and statistics needed to achieve full Phase IV sensitivity.
