Science Bowl Question

📅 MIT Science Bowl Invitational 2020🎓 HS🔄 Round 6#️⃣ Question 16🌟 BONUS✍️ Short Answer

Researchers at MIT's Center for High Energy Physics have recently been involved in the construction of KATRIN (read as: KA-trin), a next-generation experiment geared at directly measuring the neutrino mass down to fractions of an electron volt by measuring the beta decay of tritium. By name or number, identify all of the following three statements that are true of KATRIN: 1) The KATRIN experiment is directly measuring the mass of the electron antineutrino 2) In most beta decay events, the electron and neutrino carry away roughly equal amounts of energy 3) The researchers have produced an upper bound of 1.1 kiloelectronvolts for the mass of the neutrino
