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…

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…

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…

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…

A novel detector system for KATRIN to search for keV-scale sterile neutrinos

Susanne Mertens, Antonio Alborini, Konrad Altenmüller +19

Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. If their mass is in the kilo-electron-volt regime, they are viable dark matter candidates. One…
