The results obtained in this calibration measurement represent a major commissioning milestone for the upcoming direct neutrino mass measurement with KATRIN. The successful campaign demonstrates the functionalities of the full KATRIN beamline. The KATRIN main spectrometer's excellent energy resolution of ~ 1 eV made it possible to determine the narrow K-32 and L$_3$-32 conversion electron line widths with an unprecedented precision of ~ 1 %.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICS G-NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS}, author={Altenmuller, K. and Arenz, M. and Baek, W-J and Beck, M. and Beglarian, A. and Behrens, J. and Bergmann, T. and Berlev, A. and Besserer, U. and Blaum, K. and et al.}, year={2020}, month={Jun} } @article{aalseth_adles_anderson_avignone_barabash_bowyer_brodzinski_brudanin_champangne_collar_et al._2003, title={The Majorana Ge-76 double-beta decay project}, volume={124}, ISSN={0920-5632}, DOI={10.1016/S0920-5632(03)02116-9}, abstractNote={Abstract The interest and relevance of next-generation 0 v ββ-decay experiments is increasing. Even with nonzero neutrino mass strongly suggested by solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments sensitive to δm 2 , 0 v ββ-decay experiments are still the only way to establish the Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos by measuring the effective electron neutrino mass, 〈 m v 〉. In addition, the atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments imply that at least one neutrino has a mass greater than about 50 meV. The Majorana Experiment expects to probe an effective neutrino mass near this critical value. Majorana is a next-generation 76 Ge double-beta decay search. It will employ 500 kg of Ge, isotopically enriched to 86% in 76 Ge, in the form of ∼ 200 detectors in a close-packed array. Each crystal will be electronically segmented and each segment fitted with pulse-shape analysis electronics. This combination of segmentation and pulse-shape analysis significantly improves our ability to discriminate neutrinoless double beta-decay from internal cosmogenic 68 Ge and 60 Co . The half-life sensitivity is estimated to be 4.2 × 10 27 y corresponding to a 〈 m v 〉 range of ≤ 20 − 70 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used to interpret the data.}, journal={NUCLEAR PHYSICS B-PROCEEDINGS SUPPLEMENTS}, author={Aalseth, CE and Adles, E and Anderson, D and Avignone, FT and Barabash, A and Bowyer, TW and Brodzinski, RL and Brudanin, V and Champangne, A and Collar, JI and et al.}, year={2003}, month={Jul}, pages={247–252} } @misc{adelberger_austin_bahcall_balantekin_bogaert_brown_buchmann_cecil_champagne_braeckeleer_et al._1998, title={Solar fusion cross sections}, volume={70}, ISSN={["1539-0756"]}, DOI={10.1103/RevModPhys.70.1265}, abstractNote={We review and analyze the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production.
