An active Transverse Energy Filter based on microstructured Si-PIN diodes with an angular-selective detection efficiency
S. Schneidewind, K. Gauda, K. Blümer +10
Si-PIN detectors can be microstructured to achieve angular-selective particle detection capabilities, which we call active Transverse Energy Filter (aTEF). The microstructuring con…
KATRIN Sensitivity to keV Sterile Neutrinos with the TRISTAN Detector Upgrade
H. Acharya, M. Aker, D. Batzler +127
Sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range are a well-motivated extension of the Standard Model and viable dark matter candidates. Their existence can be probed in laboratory experime…
Sterile-neutrino search based on 259 days of KATRIN data
Himal Acharya, Max Aker, Dominic Batzler +132
Neutrinos are the most abundant fundamental matter particles in the Universe and play a crucial role in particle physics and cosmology. Neutrino oscillation, discovered about 25 ye…
First constraints on general neutrino interactions based on KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +130
The precision measurement of the tritium -decay spectrum performed by the KATRIN experiment provides a unique way to search for general neutrino interactions (GNI). All theoret…
