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…
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…
Gamma-induced background in the KATRIN main spectrometer
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +123
The KATRIN experiment aims to measure the effective electron antineutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c using a gaseous tritium source combined with th…
The KATRIN Superconducting Magnets: Overview and First Performance Results
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +121
The KATRIN experiment aims for the determination of the effective electron anti-neutrino mass from the tritium beta-decay with an unprecedented sub-eV sensitivity. The strong magne…
Reduction of stored-particle background by a magnetic pulse method at the KATRIN experiment
KATRIN Collaboration, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +127
The KATRIN experiment aims to determine the effective electron neutrino mass with a sensitivity of (90\% C.L.) by precision measurement of the shape of the t…
