Project 8 Apparatus for Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy with $^\mathrm{83m}$Kr and Tritium (2503.08807v1)

Abstract: Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) is a novel technique for the precise measurement of relativistic electron energy. This technique is being employed by the Project~8 collaboration for measuring a high-precision tritium beta decay spectrum to perform a frequency-based measurement of the neutrino mass. In this work, we describe the Project 8 Phase II apparatus, used for the detection of the CRES signal from the conversion electrons of $\mathrm{^{83m}Kr}$ and the first CRES measurement of the beta-decay spectrum of molecular tritium.
