Abstract
We propose neutrino mass spectroscopy using Er:CsNaYF or :YO crystal placed in hollow of a Bragg fiber as a target system. Unknown neutrino parameters and properties such as the lightest neutrino mass, Majorana/Dirac distinction, and CP violating phases can be explored by measuring scattered photons () along the excitation (and fiber) axis by varying Raman trigger () directions, in Er de-excitation process from state to state; , being a mass-resolved neutrino state. Rates and required level of QED background rejection are calculated using measured data of the target system.
