A novel experimental system for the KDK measurement of the K decay scheme relevant for rare event searches
M. Stukel, B. C. Rasco, N. T. Brewer +26
Potassium-40 (K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The decay products are prominent backgrounds for many rare event searches, including those involvi…
Characterization of a Silicon Drift Detector for High-Resolution Electron Spectroscopy
Matteo Gugiatti, Matteo Biassoni, Marco Carminati +8
Silicon Drift Detectors, widely employed in high-resolution and high-rate X-ray applications, are considered here with interest also for electron detection. The accurate measuremen…
Electron spectrometry with SDDs: a GEANT4 based method for detector response reconstruction
Matteo Biassoni, Matteo Gugiatti, Silvia Capelli +8
Electron spectrometry is traditionally challenging due to the difficulty of correctly reconstructing the original energy of the detected electrons. Silicon Drift Detectors, extensi…
A novel detector system for KATRIN to search for keV-scale sterile neutrinos
Susanne Mertens, Antonio Alborini, Konrad Altenmüller +19
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. If their mass is in the kilo-electron-volt regime, they are viable dark matter candidates. One…
Detector Development for a Sterile Neutrino Search with the KATRIN Experiment
Tim Brunst, Konrad Altenmüller, Tobias Bode +11
The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment investigates the energetic endpoint of the tritium -decay spectrum to determine the effective mass of the electron anti-neutri…
New Results on DEPFET Pixel Detectors for Radiation Imaging and High Energy Particle Detection
N. Wermes, L. Andricek, P. Fischer +19
DEPFET pixel detectors are unique devices in terms of energy and spatial resolution because very low noise (ENC = 2.2e at room temperature) operation can be obtained by implementin…
