Abstract

In this proceeding, we report on the latest results of the KATRIN experiment on the effective electron anti-neutrino mass and the search for sterile neutrinos. KATRIN performed a high resolution and high statistics spectroscopy measurement of the tritium β-decay spectrum around its endpoint energy. The analysis of ~ 1265 h of data acquired during the first two measurement campaigns of 2019 led to the most stringent limit on the neutrino mass with mν < 0.8 eV- (90% CL). We also report on the improved KATRIN exclusion limits for the eV- and keV-scale sterile neutrinos search. Finally, the future of KATRIN with the TRISTAN detector aiming at further improve the laboratory-based sensitivity to keV-scale sterile neutrino is discussed.
