A pulsed, mono-energetic and angular-selective UV photo-electron source for the commissioning of the KATRIN experiment

Abstract The KATRIN experiment aims to determine the neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 200  $${\mathrm{meV}/\mathrm{c}^2}$$ meV / c 2 (90% C. L.) by a precision measurement of the shape of the tritium $$\beta $$ β -spectrum in the endpoint region. The energy analysis of the decay electrons i...
