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…
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…
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…
-Decay Spectrum, Response Function and Statistical Model for Neutrino Mass Measurements with the KATRIN Experiment
M. Kleesiek, J. Behrens, G. Drexlin +10
The objective of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is to determine the effective electron neutrino mass with an unprecedented sensitivity of $0.2\,…
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…
