DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector

Jelle Aalbers, +120 more
TL;DR: DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) as mentioned in this paper is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved Upper Limit on the Neutrino Mass from a Direct Kinematic Method by KATRIN

M. Aker, +208 more
TL;DR: An upper limit of 1.1 eV (90% confidence level) is derived on the absolute mass scale of neutrinos on the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN, which improves upon previous mass limits from kinematic measurements by almost a factor of 2 and provides model-independent input to cosmological studies of structure formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector

TL;DR: The DARWIN detector as mentioned in this paper is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core, whose primary goal is to explore the experimentally accessible parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in a wide mass-range, until neutrino interactions with the target become an irreducible background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commissioning of the vacuum system of the KATRIN main spectrometer

M. Arenz, +155 more
TL;DR: Arenz et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the configuration, the commissioning with bake-out at 300◦C, and the performance of this system and demonstrated that the performance is already close to these stringent functional requirements for the KATRIN experiment, which will start at the end of 2016.
