Scientific paper

One of the most important tasks in neutrino physics is to determine the neutrino mass scale to distinguish between hierarchical and degenerate neutrino mass models and to clarify the role of neutrinos in the early universe. The current tritium β decay experiments at Mainz and Troitsk are reaching their sensitivity limit. The synchronous measurements at Mainz and Troitsk show that the ``Troitsk anomaly'' is an experimental artefact. The different options for a next generation direct neutrino mass experiment with sub-eV sensitivity are discussed. The KATRIN experiment, which will investigate the tritium β spectrum with a 1 eV resolution MAC-E-Filter, is being prepared to reach a sub-eV sensitivity.
