Project 8

    Project 8 is aimed at measuring the absolute mass of the neutrino using a novel technique dubbed "Cyclotron Relativistic Electron Spectroscopy". The technique basically involves measuring the mass of neutrinos by mapping the beta spectrum of electrons from Tritium beta decay using their cyclotron radiation. I was involved in development of a multipurpose fast data acquisition board. I am also interested in using the setup to test fundamental symmetries.
