Search for keV-scale Sterile Neutrinos with first KATRIN Data
read the original abstract
In this work we present a keV-scale sterile-neutrino search with the first tritium data of the KATRIN experiment, acquired in the commissioning run in 2018. KATRIN performs a spectroscopic measurement of the tritium $\beta$-decay spectrum with the main goal of directly determining the effective electron anti-neutrino mass. During this commissioning phase a lower tritium activity facilitated the search for sterile neutrinos with a mass of up to $1.6\, \mathrm{keV}$. We do not find a signal and set an exclusion limit on the sterile-to-active mixing amplitude of down to $\sin^2\theta < 5\cdot10^{-4}$ ($95\,\%$ C.L.), improving current laboratory-based bounds in the sterile-neutrino mass range between 0.1 and $1.0\, \mathrm{keV}$.

The Remote Analog to Digital Conversion DAQ System for the TRISTAN Detector Upgrade
A custom remote ADC DAQ system with flexible signal processing has been designed and constructed to handle 10^5 counts per second from over 1000 silicon drift detector pixels for precision tritium beta-decay spectroscopy.
