Abstract The investigation of the absolute scale effective neutrino mass remains challenging due to exclusively weak interaction neutrinos with all known particles in standard model particle physics. At present, most precise and least-model-dependent upper limit on electron antineutrino is set by Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN) from analysis tritium β-decay. Another promising approach capture 163 Ho, which under using microcalorimetry Electron Capture Holmium (ECHo) HOLMES...

The Standard Model of particle physics describes the properties elementary particles and their interactions remarkably well, but in particular does not account for dark matter. Isotope-shift spectroscopy is a sensitive probe fifth forces new that illuminate matter sector. This method sets bounds on bosons couple neutrons electrons with masses keV/c2 to MeV/c2 range. With increasing spectroscopic precision, such searches are limited by uncertainties isotope understanding nuclear structure....
Nonlinearities in King plots (KP) of isotope shifts (IS) can reveal the existence beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) interactions that couple electrons and neutrons. However, it is crucial to distinguish higher-order Standard Model (SM) effects from BSM physics. We measure IS transitions ${{}^{3}P_{0}~\rightarrow~{}^{3}P_{1}}$ $\mathrm{Ca}^{14+}$ ${{}^{2}S_{1/2} \rightarrow {}^{2}D_{5/2}}$ $\mathrm{Ca}^{+}$ with sub-Hz precision as well nuclear mass ratios relative uncertainties below...
