An LNGS Mobile Neutron Detector (ALMOND): Mapping Ambient Neutron Background of Gran Sasso National Laboratory
Melih Solmaz, Klaus Eitel, Alfredo Davide Ferella +3
In deep underground laboratories, environmental neutrons, which are produced at the cavern walls, introduce a source of background to rare event searches. The flux and spectrum of…

Commissioning of a mobile neutron spectrometer for LNGS
Francesco Pompa, Klaus Eitel, Alfredo Davide Ferella +3
Environmental neutrons are a source of background for rare event searches in underground laboratories. Since the majority of the neutron background comes from the cavern walls due…

Direct neutrino-mass measurement based on 259 days of KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +146
The fact that neutrinos carry a non-vanishing rest mass is evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles. Their absolute mass bears important relevance from…
