First constraints on general neutrino interactions based on KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +130
The precision measurement of the tritium -decay spectrum performed by the KATRIN experiment provides a unique way to search for general neutrino interactions (GNI). All theoreti…
Final Results of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR's Search for Double-Beta Decay of Ge to Excited States of Se
I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone, A. S. Barabash +45
Ge can decay into three possible excited states of Se, with the emission of two or, if the neutrino is Majorana, zero neutrinos. None of these six transitions ha…
An assay-based background projection for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR using Monte Carlo Uncertainty Propagation
I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone, A. S. Barabash +53
The background index is an important quantity which is used in projecting and calculating the half-life sensitivity of neutrinoless double-beta decay () experiments. A novel…
Direct neutrino-mass measurement based on 259 days of KATRIN data
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +146
The fact that neutrinos carry a non-vanishing rest mass is evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles. Their absolute mass bears important relevance from…
