Description
Electrons from tritium beta decay can lose significant energy through inelastic scattering on gas molecules in the KATRIN source. Accurate modeling of the scattering probabilities and the energy loss distribution is crucial to achieve the desired sensitivity to the electron anti-neutrino mass.
In this poster we present a method based on Monte Carlo simulations to quantify the impact of energy-dependent scattering probabilities on the reproducibility of the energy loss distribution and source gas density obtained from dedicated KATRIN calibration measurements, and their propagation to the determination of the electron anti-neutrino mass.
