Abstract
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure tritium -decay spectrum with enough precision to be sensitive to neutrino mass down to 0.2eV at 90 Confidence Level. After an initial first tritium run in the summer of 2018, KATRIN is taking tritium data in 2019 that should lead to a first neutrino mass result. The spectral shape of the tritium decay is also sensitive to four countershaded Lorentz Violating (LV), oscillation-free operators within the Standard-Model Extension that may be quite large. The status and outlook of KATRIN to produce physics results, including in the LV sector, are discussed.
