Neutrino mass measurement with an array of high-resolution AgReO-4 microcalorimeters

We report here the preparation of an experiment to measure the electronic anti-neutrino mass by studying the 187 Re end-point with high-resolution thermal microcalorimeters. We present the results achieved up to now with several AgReO 4 microcalorimeter prototypes and we discuss the experiment perspective regarding both the detector performances and the achievable neutrino mass sensitivity.
