Search for keV-scale Sterile Neutrinos with first KATRIN Data

M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +128

In this work we present a keV-scale sterile-neutrino search with the first tritium data of the KATRIN experiment, acquired in the commissioning run in 2018. KATRIN performs a spect…

Search for Lorentz-Invariance Violation with the first KATRIN data

M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +130

Some extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics allow for Lorentz invariance and Charge-Parity-Time (CPT)-invariance violations. In the neutrino sector strong constraints…

KATRIN: Status and Prospects for the Neutrino Mass and Beyond

M. Aker, M. Balzer, D. Batzler +159

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-precision integral spectrum of the endpoint region of T2 beta decay, with the primary goal of probi…

An active transverse energy filter to differentiate low energy particles with large pitch angles in a strong magnetic field

K. Gauda, S. Schneidewind, G. Drexlin +11

We present the idea and proof of principle measurements for an angular-selective active filter for charged particles. The motivation for the setup arises from the need to distingui…

New Constraint on the Local Relic Neutrino Background Overdensity with the First KATRIN Data Runs

M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +129

We report on the direct cosmic relic neutrino background search from the first two science runs of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity molecular…
