Description
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to determine the effective
electron anti-neutrino mass in a model-independent way by investigating the energy
spectrum of tritium beta-decay electrons near the endpoint with a sensitivity of $m_\nu =
0.2$ eV/c$^2$ (90% C.L.).
The detector of the KATRIN experiment is segmented into 148 pixels, each measuring an
independent $\beta$-spectrum. Additionally the spectrum will be measured several thousands
of times. The data of each pixel and each measurement must be combined to retrieve the
effective electron anti-neutrino mass.
This poster will present strategies for the high-level analysis of the KATRIN experiment
including a proposal of how to combine the different data sets and presumably the results
of the analysis of first KATRIN data.
