Description for Background Processes in the Electrostatic Spectrometers of the KATRIN Experiment
hardcover. This book offers a detailed introduction to the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment. It outlines how to measure the fundamental neutrino mass scale by means of high-precision ss-spectroscopy. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 212 pages, 8 black & white illustrations, 108 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDDM; PHP; PHU; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 485.
Neutrinos continue to be the most mysterious and, arguably, the most fascinating particles of the Standard Model as their intrinsic properties such as absolute mass scale and CP properties are unknown. The open question of the absolute neutrino mass scale will be addressed with unprecedented accuracy by the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment, currently under construction. This thesis focusses on the spectrometer part of KATRIN and background processes therein. Various background sources such as small Penning traps, as well as nuclear decays from single radon atoms are fully characterized here for the first time. Most importantly, however, it was possible to reduce ... Read more
