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…
Investigation of Electron Backscattering on Silicon Drift Detectors for the Sterile Neutrino Search with TRISTAN
Daniela Spreng, Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati +7
Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical particles in the minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. They could be viable dark matter candidates if they have a mass in…
