Project 8: Progress Towards using Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy on Atomic Tritium for a Neutrino Mass Measurement

Project 8 has demonstrated Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) as a novel technique for performing electron spectroscopy. Applying this method to highest energy electrons from atomic tritium beta decay should lead to a direct neutrino mass measurement. I will present recent developments in CRES for precision electron energy measurements, performance of the Project 8 prototype, and outline outline a path toward a viable atomic tritium source.
