Description

Project 8 experiment is an endeavor to constrain the effective mass of the electron neutrino. The first two phases of Project 8 have demonstrated CRES (Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy) in cm-scale waveguides with a relatively low volume of gas. We show R&D work for the next phase of Project 8, in which CRES detection will be implemented in a larger volume using micro-strip patch antenna arrays. Previous work by Tim using spot-light mode Synthetic Aperture RADAR overlaps with some of the applied principles in free-field CRES and will be discussed as well.
