Search for keV-scale Sterile Neutrinos with first KATRIN Data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +128
In this work we present a keV-scale sterile-neutrino search with the first tritium data of the KATRIN experiment, acquired in the commissioning run in 2018. KATRIN performs a spect…
Search for Lorentz-Invariance Violation with the first KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +130
Some extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics allow for Lorentz invariance and Charge-Parity-Time (CPT)-invariance violations. In the neutrino sector strong constraints…
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…
New Constraint on the Local Relic Neutrino Background Overdensity with the First KATRIN Data Runs
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +129
We report on the direct cosmic relic neutrino background search from the first two science runs of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity molecular…
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…
Analysis methods for the first KATRIN neutrino-mass measurement
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, A. Beglarian +126
We report on the data set, data handling, and detailed analysis techniques of the first neutrino-mass measurement by the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment, which probe…
Bound on 3+1 active-sterile neutrino mixing from the first four-week science run of KATRIN
M. Aker, K. Altenmueller, A. Beglarian +126
We report on the light sterile neutrino search from the first four-week science run of the KATRIN experiment in~2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity gaseous molecular trit…
Beta decay of molecular tritium
Y. -T. Lin, T. H. Burritt, C. Claessens +12
The beta decay of tritium in the form of molecular TT is the basis of sensitive experiments to measure neutrino mass. The final-state electronic, vibrational, and rotational excita…
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…
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…
An improved upper limit on the neutrino mass from a direct kinematic method by KATRIN
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz +205
We report on the neutrino mass measurement result from the first four-week science run of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN in spring 2019. Beta-decay electrons from…
High-resolution spectroscopy of gaseous Kr conversion electrons with the KATRIN experiment
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +124
In this work, we present the first spectroscopic measurements of conversion electrons originating from the decay of metastable gaseous Kr with the Karlsruhe Tritium…
Calibration of high voltages at the ppm level by the difference of Kr conversion electron lines at the KATRIN experiment
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +124
The neutrino mass experiment KATRIN requires a stability of 3 ppm for the retarding potential at -18.6 kV of the main spectrometer. To monitor the stability, two custom-made ultra-…
