The HUNTER experiment: Searching for Sterile Neutrinos in laser trapped ^131Cs
ORAL
Abstract
The HUNTER experiment (Heavy Unseen Neutrinos from Total Energy-momentum Reconstruction) is a search for sterile neutrinos with masses in the keV range. Radioactive decays of laser-cooled 131-Cs will be reconstructed using reaction-microscope spectrometers to detect all charged decay products with high solid angle efficiency. This reconstruction determines the mass of the undetected neutrino with keV-scale resolution and places limits on the coupling of a keV-scale sterile neutrino to SM neutrinos.
