KATRIN superconducting magnets for neutrino mass measurement research

Neutrino-mass measurement research at KATRIN reaches new levels of sensitivity in a quest to understand the "Ghost Particle". Cryomagnetics is proud to have built the six 5 Tesla recondensing magnets comprising the Differential Pumping Section (DPS) as well as "Pinch" and "Detector" magnets for this ground breaking experiment.
