Workshop outline
NuMass 2026 is organized to maximize scientific exchange and cross-collaboration between different approaches to neutrino mass determination:
-
Researchers from all neutrino mass–related fields are invited to participate.
-
All participants are encouraged to contribute a poster, providing a broad overview of ongoing activities and recent results.
- All oral contributions are "on invitation only".
-
Review talks will cover adjacent and complementary fields, such as cosmology, neutrinoless double-beta decay, and neutrino theory, to place direct neutrino mass measurements in a wider scientific context.
-
Collaboration overview talks will be given, with one dedicated overview presentation for each major experimental collaboration.
-
The workshop will feature focused topical sessions (e.g. data analysis, detector technology, R&D, and experimental strategy).
Focused topical sessions
These sessions are organized by small, cross-collaboration working groups and consist of concerted contributions resulting in a joint presentation. Each presentation will introduce the topic, summarize recent developments across experiments, and serve as a basis for extended and structured discussion.
The planned topics are:
- Data analysis
- Atomic T source
- Holmium / EC source
- Tritiated Graphene
- Background & Systematic
- Quantum sensors
- RF-Based methods
- Front end electronics
- Calibration methods
- Strategy and synergies
- Wild card / new ideas
