Precision measurement of the electron energy-loss function in tritium and deuterium gas for the KATRIN experiment
M. Aker, A. Beglarian, J. Behrens +132
The KATRIN experiment is designed for a direct and model-independent determination of the effective electron anti-neutrino mass via a high-precision measurement of the tritium -…
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…
A pulsed, mono-energetic and angular-selective UV photo-electron source for the commissioning of the KATRIN experiment
J. Behrens, P. C. -O. Ranitzsch, M. Beck +15
The KATRIN experiment aims to determine the neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 200 meV/c^2 (90% C.L.) by a precision measurement of the shape of the tritium -spectrum in…
Sensitivity of Next-Generation Tritium Beta-Decay Experiments for keV-Scale Sterile Neutrinos
S. Mertens, T. Lasserre, S. Groh +6
We investigate the sensitivity of tritium -decay experiments for keV-scale sterile neutrinos. Relic sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range can contribute both to the cold and w…
Validation of a model for Radon-induced background processes in electrostatic spectrometers
N. Wandkowsky, G. Drexlin, F. M. Fränkle +3
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment investigating tritium beta-decay close to the endpoint with unprecedented precision has stringent requirements on the background…
Modeling of electron emission processes accompanying Radon--decays within electrostatic spectrometers
N. Wandkowsky, G. Drexlin, F. M. Fränkle +3
Electrostatic spectrometers utilized in high-resolution beta-spectroscopy studies such as in the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment have to operate with a background le…
