A flexible scintillation light apparatus for rare event searches
Valter Bonvicini, Silvia Capelli, Oliviero Cremonesi +5
Compelling experimental evidences of neutrino oscillations and their implication that neutrinos are massive particles have given neutrinoless double beta decay a central role in as…
Future Opportunities in Accelerator-based Neutrino Physics
Andrea Dell'Acqua, Antoni Aduszkiewicz, Markus Ahlers +140
This document summarizes the conclusions of the Neutrino Town Meeting held at CERN in October 2018 to review the neutrino field at large with the aim of defining a strategy for acc…
Hunting keV sterile neutrinos with KATRIN: building the first TRISTAN module
Thibaut Houdy, Antonio Alborini, Konrad Altenmüller +21
The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment investigates the energetic endpoint of the tritium beta-decay spectrum to determine the effective mass of the electron anti-neutr…
A novel application of solid state detectors for high precision, low systematics measurement of beta decay energy spectra of interest for neutrino and nuclear physics
Matteo Biassoni, Marco Carminati, Luigi Coraggio +7
This project is focused on the development of a novel strategy for the precise measurement of beta decay energy spectra. The exact determination of beta spectra has wide implicatio…
Electron spectrometry with SDDs: a GEANT4 based method for detector response reconstruction
Matteo Biassoni, Matteo Gugiatti, Silvia Capelli +8
Electron spectrometry is traditionally challenging due to the difficulty of correctly reconstructing the original energy of the detected electrons. Silicon Drift Detectors, extensi…
NTL-amplified cryogenic light detectors with optically transparent electrodes
Matteo Biassoni, Andrea Nava, Oscar Azzolini +21
The Neganov-Trofimov-Luke (NTL) effect is used by experiments based on cryogenic detectors to boost the sensitivity of light-sensitive devices down to a few optical photons. In thi…
