Sterile-neutrino search based on 259 days of KATRIN data
Himal Acharya, Max Aker, Dominic Batzler +132
Neutrinos are the most abundant fundamental matter particles in the Universe and play a crucial role in particle physics and cosmology. Neutrino oscillation, discovered about 25 ye…
Measurement of the inhomogeneity of the KATRIN tritium source electric potential by high-resolution spectroscopy of conversion electrons from Kr
H. Acharya, M. Aker, D. Batzler +130
Precision spectroscopy of the electron spectrum of the tritium -decay near the kinematic endpoint is a direct method to determine the effective electron antineutrino mass. The…
First constraints on general neutrino interactions based on KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +130
The precision measurement of the tritium -decay spectrum performed by the KATRIN experiment provides a unique way to search for general neutrino interactions (GNI). All theoret…
Measurement of the electric potential and the magnetic field in the shifted analysing plane of the KATRIN experiment
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +135
The projected sensitivity of the effective electron neutrino-mass measurement with the KATRIN experiment is below 0.3 eV (90 % CL) after five years of data acquisition. The sensiti…
Direct neutrino-mass measurement based on 259 days of KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +146
The fact that neutrinos carry a non-vanishing rest mass is evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles. Their absolute mass bears important relevance from…
