The turn of the 21st century witnessed a sudden shift in our fundamental understanding of
particle physics. While the minimal Standard Model predicts that neutrino masses are …

Abstract Silicon Drift Detectors, widely employed in high-resolution and high-rate X-ray
applications, are considered here with interest also for electron detection. The accurate …

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 IDeF-X HDBD integrated circuit, our latest 32-channel application specified
integrated circuit devoted to semiconductor photon counting X-ray detectors, designed to …

A multi-channel data processing and acquisition system based on an analog ASIC (SFERA)
has been designed and realized. The platform, called Kerberos, is suitable for the readout of …

We present a brief review of experimental status in searching for hypothetical sterile neutrino
in nuclear decay in laboratory testing. The main idea is based on search for an additional …

The system design and characterization of a compact single-SDD (Silicon Drift Detector)
module for X-ray and electron spectroscopy in a windowless, room-temperature, vacuum …

The discovery of mixing in the lepton sector of elementary particles and non-zero neutrino
mass generates several fundamental questions. One of them is: are there more than three …

Among several efforts targeting the determination of neutrino mass, the TRISTAN project
aims at upgrading the detector of the KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment for the …
