Characterization of the Detector Response to Electrons of Silicon Drift Detectors for the TRISTAN Project
Manuel Lebert, Tim Brunst, Thibaut Houdy +2
Right-handed neutrinos are a natural extension of the Standard Model of particle physics. Such particles would only interact through the mixing with the left-handed neutrinos, henc…
Detector Development for a Sterile Neutrino Search with the KATRIN Experiment
Tim Brunst, Konrad Altenmüller, Tobias Bode +11
The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment investigates the energetic endpoint of the tritium -decay spectrum to determine the effective mass of the electron anti-neutr…
Measurements with a TRISTAN prototype detector system at the "Troitsk nu-mass" experiment in integral and differential mode
Tim Brunst, Thibaut Houdy, Susanne Mertens +22
Sterile neutrinos emerge in minimal extensions of the Standard Model which can solve a number of open questions in astroparticle physics. For example, sterile neutrinos in the keV-…
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 detector system for KATRIN to search for keV-scale sterile neutrinos
Susanne Mertens, Antonio Alborini, Konrad Altenmüller +19
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. If their mass is in the kilo-electron-volt regime, they are viable dark matter candidates. One…
