Background reduction at the KATRIN experiment by the shifted analysing plane configuration
Abstract The KATRIN experiment aims at measuring the electron neutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c $$^2$$ 2 after 5 years of data taking. Recently a new upper limit for the neutrino mass of 0.8 eV/c $$^2$$ 2 (90% CL) was obtained. To reach the design sensitivity, a reduction of the backgroun...
