Tritium analytics by beta induced X-ray spectrometry
Abstract:
The aim of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is a neutrino mass measurement with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2 (90% C.L.) by the investigation of the tritium beta-spectrum. This requires continuous activity monitoring of the windowless gaseous tritium source on the 0.1 % stability level. In this work, the suitability of the beta induced X-ray spectrometry (BIXS) method for high stability and high sensitivity activity monitoring of gaseous tritium sources has been shown.
