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…
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…
An angular-selective electron source for the KATRIN experiment
M. Beck, K. Bokeloh, H. Hein +10
The KATRIN experiment is going to search for the average mass of the electron antineutrino with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2. It uses a retardation spectrometer of MAC-E filter type…
Ellipsometry with polarisation analysis at cryogenic temperatures inside a vacuum chamber
S. Bauer, B. Grees, D. Spitzer +9
In this paper we describe a new variant of null ellipsometry to determine thicknesses and optical properties of thin films on a substrate at cryogenic temperatures. In the PCSA arr…
Prototype of an angular-selective photoelectron calibration source for the KATRIN experiment
K. Valerius, H. Hein, H. Baumeister +8
The method of direct neutrino mass determination based on the kinematics of tritium beta decay, which is adopted by the KATRIN experiment, makes use of a large, high-resolution ele…
Effect of a sweeping conductive wire on electrons stored in the Penning trap between the KATRIN spectrometers
M. Beck, K. Valerius, J. Bonn +8
The KATRIN experiment is going to search for the mass of the electron antineutrino down to 0.2 eV/c^2. In order to reach this sensitivity the background rate has to be understood a…
