Characterisation of a Thick Pixelated Silicon Detector for Electron Spectroscopy of Neutron Beta Decay
Manuel Lebert, Lilli Löbell, Igor Konorov +1
Silicon detectors are commonly used for spectroscopy of low-energy particles. For electrons in the 1 MeV range, a rather large thickness of 2mm is required to entirely stop the ele…
Investigations of Charge Collection and Signal Timing in a multi-pixel Silicon Drift Detector
Christian Forstner, Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati +7
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and a promising candidate for dark matter if their mass is in the keV-range. The Karlsruhe Triti…
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…
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…
