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…

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…

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…
