The Use of Low Temperature Detectors for Direct Measurements of the Mass of the Electron Neutrino

Figure 3

Effective electron neutrino mass as a function of the lightest mass in both NH and IH mass schemes. The values of all three mass states are also plotted for comparison. The uncertainties on the oscillation parameters are reflected by uncertainties on the calculated masses which are not shown in the figure. The allowed ranges in [1] give an uncertainty of about 30 (7)% on for    in the NH (IH) scheme. The uncertainties progressively reduce going to larger masses and they are less than 1% for masses larger than 0.1 eV.
