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…
First Results on the Search for Lepton Number Violating Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with the LEGEND-200 Experiment
H. Acharya, N. Ackermann, M. Agostini +256
The LEGEND collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta () decay by operating high-purity germanium detectors enriched in Ge in a low-background liquid a…
Search for charge nonconservation and Pauli exclusion principle violation with the Majorana Demonstrator
MAJORANA Collaboration, I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone +55
Charge conservation and the Pauli exclusion principle result from fundamental symmetries in the standard model of particle physics, and are typically taken as axiomatic. High-preci…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment's construction, commissioning, and performance
N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo, I. J. Arnquist +108
Background: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , a modular array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, was constructed to demonstrate backgrounds low enough to ju…
