Abstract
The forthcoming experiments on neutrino mass measurement using beta decay, open a new window to explore the Large Extra Dimension model. The Kaluza-Klein tower of neutrinos in Large Extra Dimension contribute to the Kurie function of beta decay that can be tested kinematically. In addition to providing an alternative approach using just the kinematical properties, we show that KATRIN can probe the compactification radius of extra dimensions down to 0.2 \mu m which is better, at least by a factor of two, than the upper limits from neutrino oscillation experiments.
