Abstract The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-
precision integral spectrum of the endpoint region of T 2 β decay, with the primary goal of …

Abstract Multi-pixel Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD), widely employed in X-ray applications, can
also be applied to electron spectroscopy experiments. The objective of the TRISTAN project …

We present the first experimental results achieved with a monolithic array of 166 Silicon Drift
Detectors (SDD). This detector was developed for the TRISTAN experiment, targeting the …

A compact detection module for the simultaneous measurement of XRF and XRD in portable
analytical applications, in particular in the mining sector, is presented. The detector head is …

This work presents the design and preliminary X-ray characterization of a module designed
for high-precision beta-decay measurements. The module is based on a large 166-pixel …

Astronomical X-ray polarimetry is a powerful tool to extract information from hard X-rays
spectrum of celestial bodies. In this context, the ComPol project aims to fly a Compton …

The low-noise readout of large pixellated detectors, especially when the number grows into
the hundreds, represents a challenge for both front-end and back-end electronics. The …

Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the standard model of particle physics. A
laboratory-based approach to search for this particle is via tritium β-decay, where a sterile …

The TRISTAN detector is a novel multi-pixel Silicon Drift Detector array designed to search
for the signature of sterile neutrinos in the electron spectrum of tritium β-decay at the KATRIN …

This paper presents an analog event processing and acquisition platform, primarily targeting
X-ray and electron spectroscopy. It allows the simultaneous acquisition of 48 channels, each …
