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…
KATRIN: Status and Prospects for the Neutrino Mass and Beyond
M. Aker, M. Balzer, D. Batzler +159
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-precision integral spectrum of the endpoint region of T2 beta decay, with the primary goal of probi…
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…
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…
Characterization of a Silicon Drift Detector for High-Resolution Electron Spectroscopy
Matteo Gugiatti, Matteo Biassoni, Marco Carminati +8
Silicon Drift Detectors, widely employed in high-resolution and high-rate X-ray applications, are considered here with interest also for electron detection. The accurate measuremen…
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…
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…
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…
