Development of a Silicon Drift Detector Array to Search for keV-scale Sterile Neutrinos with the KATRIN Experiment
Daniel Siegmann, Frank Edzards, Christina Bruch +25
Sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range present a viable candidate for dark matter. They can be detected through single decay, where they cause small spectral distortions. The…
Characterization measurements of the TRISTAN multi-pixel silicon drift detector
Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati, Martin Descher +12
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. A laboratory-based approach to search for this particle is via tritium beta-decay, where a ster…
Precision measurement of the electron energy-loss function in tritium and deuterium gas for the KATRIN experiment
M. Aker, A. Beglarian, J. Behrens +132
The KATRIN experiment is designed for a direct and model-independent determination of the effective electron anti-neutrino mass via a high-precision measurement of the tritium -…
The Design, Construction, and Commissioning of the KATRIN Experiment
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, J. F. Amsbaugh +226
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment, which aims to make a direct and model-independent determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale, is a complex experiment wit…
Conceptual Design of BabyIAXO, the intermediate stage towards the International Axion Observatory
A. Abeln, K. Altenmüller, S. Arguedas Cuendis +123
This article describes BabyIAXO, an intermediate experimental stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO), proposed to be sited at DESY. IAXO is a large-scale axion heliosc…
Characterization of Silicon Drift Detectors with Electrons for the TRISTAN Project
S. Mertens, T. Brunst, M. Korzeczek +30
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. A promising model-independent way to search for sterile neutrinos is via high-precision beta sp…
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…
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…
Suppression of Penning discharges between the KATRIN spectrometers
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, A. Beglarian +151
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) aims to determine the effective electron (anti)neutrino mass with a sensitivity of (90 C.L.) by precise…
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-…
First operation of the KATRIN experiment with tritium
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz +168
The determination of the neutrino mass is one of the major challenges in astroparticle physics today. Direct neutrino mass experiments, based solely on the kinematics of beta-decay…
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…
The Monte Carlo simulation of the Borexino detector
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +97
We describe the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation package of the Borexino detector and discuss the agreement of its output with data. The Borexino MC 'ab initio' simulates the energy los…
SOX: Short distance neutrino Oscillations with BoreXino
Borexino Collaboration
The very low radioactive background of the Borexino detector, its large size, and the well proved capability to detect both low energy neutrino and anti-neutrino make an ideal case…
