Large calorimetric neutrino mass experiments using thermal detectors might be going to play a crucial role in the challenge for assessing the neutrino mass. This paper describes a tool based on Monte Carlo methods which has been developed to estimate the statistical sensitivity of calorimetric direct neutrino mass measurements using the 163Ho electron capture decay. The tool is applied to investigate the effect of various experimental parameters. In this paper I report the results useful for designing an experiment with sub-eV sensitivity.

Abstract
Large calorimetric neutrino mass experiments using thermal detectors might be going to play a crucial role in the challenge for assessing the neutrino mass. This paper describes a tool based on Monte Carlo methods which has been developed to estimate the statistical sensitivity of calorimetric direct neutrino mass measurements using the 163Ho electron capture decay. The tool is applied to investigate the effect of various experimental parameters. In this paper I report the results useful for designing an experiment with sub-eV sensitivity.
