The Penning Trap Electron Gun for the KATRIN Experiment
The KArlsruhe TRitium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) is currently in under construction, with plans to be activated in 2010. The experiment will measure the energy of electrons recoiling from the three body beta decay of Tritium (Hydrogen with two neutrons) in order to obtain the mass of the neutrino. The experiment will be sensitive down to 0.2ev/c 2 . My thesis focuses on the one of the calibra...
متن کاملStatus of the KATRIN experiment
The aim of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment-KATRIN-is the direct measurement of the anti-neutrino mass with a sensitivity of 200 meV/c 2 (90% C.L.). It is based on the study of the endpoint region of tritium β decay where a non-vanishing anti-neutrino mass causes a distortion of the β spectrum. KATRIN will allow to probe a part of the cosmology-relevant neutrino mass parameter space an...
متن کاملPrecision high voltage divider for the KATRIN experiment
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims to determine the absolute mass of the electron antineutrino from a precise measurement of the tritium β-spectrum near its endpoint at 18.6 keV with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV c−2. KATRIN uses an electrostatic retardation spectrometer of MAC-E filter type for which it is crucial to monitor high voltages of up to 35 kV with a precision and long...
متن کاملSystematics and background suppression in the KATRIN experiment
Recent neutrino mass experiments at Mainz and Troitsk using tritium β-decay have reached their sensitivity potential, yielding upper limits of about 2 eV/c for m(ν̄e). The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN), designed to reach a sensitivity of m(ν̄e) = 0.2 eV/c 2 (90% C.L.), will improve the signal rate by a factor of about 100 with respect to previous experiments while maintaining the...
متن کاملTest of potential homogeneity in the KATRIN gaseous tritium source
Kr is supposed to be used to study the properties of the windowless gaseous tritium source of the experiment KATRIN. In this work we deduce the amount of Kr which is necessary to determine possible potential inhomogeneities via conversion-electron-line broadening. PACS: 29.30.Dn, 07.81.+a, 02.50.-r
