First operation of the KATRIN experiment with tritium
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz +168
The determination of the neutrino mass is one of the major challenges in astroparticle physics today. Direct neutrino mass experiments, based solely on the kinematics of beta-decay…
High-resolution spectroscopy of gaseous Kr conversion electrons with the KATRIN experiment
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +124
In this work, we present the first spectroscopic measurements of conversion electrons originating from the decay of metastable gaseous Kr with the Karlsruhe Tritium…
Gamma-induced background in the KATRIN main spectrometer
K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek +123
The KATRIN experiment aims to measure the effective electron antineutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c using a gaseous tritium source combined with th…
Large-scale cosmic-ray anisotropies above 4 EeV measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +374
We present a detailed study of the large-scale anisotropies of cosmic rays with energies above 4 EeV measured using the Pierre Auger Observatory. For the energy bins [4,8] EeV and…
The KATRIN Superconducting Magnets: Overview and First Performance Results
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +121
The KATRIN experiment aims for the determination of the effective electron anti-neutrino mass from the tritium beta-decay with an unprecedented sub-eV sensitivity. The strong magne…
Calibration of high voltages at the ppm level by the difference of Kr conversion electron lines at the KATRIN experiment
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +124
The neutrino mass experiment KATRIN requires a stability of 3 ppm for the retarding potential at -18.6 kV of the main spectrometer. To monitor the stability, two custom-made ultra-…
First transmission of electrons and ions through the KATRIN beamline
M. Arenz, W. -J. Baek, M. Beck +126
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is a large-scale effort to probe the absolute neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV (90% confidence level), via a prec…
Signals induced by charge-trapping in EDELWEISS FID detectors: analytical modeling and applications
The EDELWEISS Collaboration, Q. Arnaud, E. Armengaud +47
The EDELWEISS-III direct dark matter search experiment uses cryogenic HP-Ge detectors Fully covered with Inter-Digitized electrodes (FID). They are operated at low fields ($<1\;\ma…
An improved limit to the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, Alexander Aab, Pedro Abreu +462
Neutrinos in the cosmic ray flux with energies near 1 EeV and above are detectable with the Surface Detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We report here on searches throu…
Design and operation of ARGONTUBE: a 5 m long drift liquid argon TPC
A. Ereditato, C. C. Hsu, S. Janos +7
The Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) is a prime type of detector for future large-mass neutrino observatories and proton decay searches. In this paper we present the d…
Radar reflection off extensive air showers
J. Stasielak, S. Baur, M. Bertaina +24
We investigate the possibility of detecting extensive air showers by the radar technique. Considering a bistatic radar system and different shower geometries, we simulate reflectio…
A search for low-mass WIMPs with EDELWEISS-II heat-and-ionization detectors
EDELWEISS Collaboration, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +52
We report on a search for low-energy (E < 20 keV) WIMP-induced nuclear recoils using data collected in 2009 - 2010 by EDELWEISS from four germanium detectors equipped with thermal…
Search for signatures of magnetically-induced alignment in the arrival directions measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory
