Hrm. My understanding was that electron/muon/tau neutrinos (bizzarely) don't have a defined mass, since the flavor eigenstates are a mix of the mass eigenstates. Did you mean that they are trying to put bounds on one of the particular mass states?
- lnauta 5y agoThey measure what is called the 'effective mass', which is a combination of the masses of the mass-states.
