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…
Impact of a cryogenic baffle system on the suppression of radon-induced background in the KATRIN Pre-Spectrometer
S. Goerhardt, J. Bonn, L. Bornschein +9
The KATRIN experiment will determine the effective electron anti-neutrino mass with a sensitivity of 200 meV/c at 90% CL. The energy analysis of tritium -decay electrons wil…
Improved model for transmission probabilities of membrane bellows based on TPMC simulations
Marcel Krause, Joachim Wolf
Many complex vacuum systems include edge-welded bellows. Their simulation in the molecular flow regime with a Test Particle Monte Carlo (TPMC) code, such as MolFlow+, can take cons…
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…
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-…
First transmission of electrons and ions through the KATRIN beamline
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +126
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is a large-scale effort to probe the absolute neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV (90% confidence level), via a prec…
