Abstract
The definition of the absolute neutrino mass scale is one of the main goals of the Particle Physics today.
The study of the end-point regions of the $\beta$- and electron capture (EC) spectrum offers a possibility to determine the effective electron (anti-)neutrino mass in a completely model independent way, as it only relies on the energy and momentum conservation.
The ECHo (Electron Capture in $^{163}$Ho) experiment has been designed in the attempt to measure the effective mass of the electron neutrino by performing high statistics and high energy resolution measurements of the $^{163}$Ho electron capture spectrum. To achieve this goal, large arrays of low temperature metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) implanted with with $^{163}$Ho are used.
Here we report on the structure and the status of the experiment.
