Description
To provide students with hands-on insight into modern neutrino mass experiments, a scaled laboratory setup of KATRIN has been developed for the advanced physics lab course at KIT. With an approximate scale of 1:20, the experiment reproduces the essential components of KATRIN, including a tritium source, an adjustable high-voltage spectrometer of the MAC-E filter type, a high-resolution detector, and magnetic guiding fields. In contrast to KATRIN, the source utilizes exchangeable implanted disks containing tritium and 83mKr within an ultra-high-vacuum chamber. This poster presents the design of the Mini-MAC-E laboratory setup. The project is supported by KIT’s Research Infrastructure in Research-Oriented Teaching (RIRO) program.
