Abstract With the compelling evidence for massive neutrinos from recent ν-oscillation experiments, one of the most fundamental tasks of particle physics over the next years will be the determination of the absolute mass scale of neutrinos, which has crucial implications for cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. A next generation tritium β decay experiment, the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN), is proposed to reach a sub eV sensitivity on the absolute mass of the electron neutrino.
