Description
The absolute neutrino mass is still a missing parameter in the modern landscape
of particle physics.The HOLMES experiment aims to perform a direct measurement of the
neutrino mass with a sensitivity of the order of 2 eV. The neutrino mass will be studied through
the calorimetric measurement of the decay products of the weak process decay of 163 Ho. To
achieve the target sensitivity, HOLMES will combine the use of 1000 low temperature TES
microcalorimeters with the use of a sophisticated software, designed for the signal processing
and data analysis. The detector and readout technology will be pushed to their limits in order
to preserve the detectors performance and the high multiplexing factor at the same time. This
contribution will provide an overview on the status of the major tasks that will bring HOLMES
to life: from the isotope production and embedding to the detector production and readout.
