SUMMARY:One century of neutrino mass experiments: from radium salts to
  microwaves\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Benjamin Mon
 real\, UCSB
DESCRIPTION:The neutrino mass is one of the longest-standing unanswere
 d questions in physics.   We've recently learned a tremendous amount a
 bout how the weak interaction mixes neutrino mass states together\; we
 've learned that there are three different\, and we've narrowed the or
 dering of these masses down to two\; but we still haven't learned what
  the masses actually are.   The KATRIN experiment\, soon to start data
  taking\, will use a huge electrostatic spectrometer to search for the
  signature of a massive neutrino in beta decay\, but astrophysicists p
 redict that the mass scale is too small for KATRIN to see.  Project 8'
 s microwave spectrometry technique may provide the next\, crucial\, fa
 ctor of 10 in this search\; I will present recent Project 8 data showi
 ng our single-electron detection\, tracking\, and spectroscopy capabil
 ities.
