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…
Gamma-induced background in the KATRIN main spectrometer
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +123
The KATRIN experiment aims to measure the effective electron antineutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c using a gaseous tritium source combined with th…
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…
Nuclear hyperpolarization of 3He by magnetized plasmas
A. Maul, P. Blümler, P. -J. Nacher +3
We describe a method to hyperpolarize 3He nuclear spins at high magnetic fields (4.7 Tesla) solely by a magnetized plasma. The conditions for such a magnetized plasma are fulfilled…
Reduction of stored-particle background by a magnetic pulse method at the KATRIN experiment
KATRIN Collaboration, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +127
The KATRIN experiment aims to determine the effective electron neutrino mass with a sensitivity of (90\% C.L.) by precision measurement of the shape of the t…
Muon-induced background in the KATRIN main spectrometer
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +131
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims to make a model-independent determination of the effective electron antineutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c.…
