论文摘要
我们报告了2019年Katrin实验的前两次科学运行的直接宇宙遗物中微子背景搜索。通过高分辨率的MAC-E滤光片在18.57 KEV的运动端端点周围的高分辨率MAC-E滤波器分析。该分析对9.7e10(1.1E11)的局部遗物中微子密度敏感,置信水平为90%(95%)。集成电子光谱的拟合在狭窄的间隔周围围绕运动端中微子捕获的运动端值捕获的狭窄间隔没有明显的过度密度。这项工作改善了先前的运动中微子质量实验在洛斯阿拉莫斯和特洛伊斯克获得的结果。此外,通过依靠更新的操作条件,我们将Katrin实验预计的最终灵敏度更新为<1E10。
We report on the direct cosmic relic neutrino background search from the first two science runs of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity molecular tritium gas source are analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter around the kinematic endpoint at 18.57 keV. The analysis is sensitive to a local relic neutrino overdensity of 9.7e10 (1.1e11) at a 90% (95%) confidence level. A fit of the integrated electron spectrum over a narrow interval around the kinematic endpoint accounting for relic neutrino captures in the Tritium source reveals no significant overdensity. This work improves the results obtained by the previous kinematic neutrino mass experiments at Los Alamos and Troitsk. We furthermore update the projected final sensitivity of the KATRIN experiment to <1e10 at 90% confidence level, by relying on updated operational conditions.
