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…

An improved upper limit on the neutrino mass from a direct kinematic method by KATRIN

M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, M. Arenz +205

We report on the neutrino mass measurement result from the first four-week science run of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN in spring 2019. Beta-decay electrons from…

Commissioning of the vacuum system of the KATRIN Main Spectrometer

M. Arenz, M. Babutzka, M. Bahr +147

The KATRIN experiment will probe the neutrino mass by measuring the beta-electron energy spectrum near the endpoint of tritium beta-decay. An integral energy analysis will be perfo…

The Spherical Multipole Expansion of a Triangle

John P. Barrett, Joseph A. Formaggio, Thomas J. Corona

We describe a technique to analytically compute the multipole moments of a charge distribution confined to a planar triangle, which may be useful in solving the Laplace equation us…
