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…
Investigations of Charge Collection and Signal Timing in a multi-pixel Silicon Drift Detector
Christian Forstner, Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati +7
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and a promising candidate for dark matter if their mass is in the keV-range. The Karlsruhe Triti…
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…
Measurement of the inhomogeneity of the KATRIN tritium source electric potential by high-resolution spectroscopy of conversion electrons from Kr
H. Acharya, M. Aker, D. Batzler +130
Precision spectroscopy of the electron spectrum of the tritium -decay near the kinematic endpoint is a direct method to determine the effective electron antineutrino mass. The…
