Query: Characterization of the Detector Response to Electrons of Silicon Drift
  Detectors for the TRISTAN Project   Right-handed neutrinos are a natural extension of the Standard Model of
particle physics. Such particles would only interact through the mixing with
the left-handed neutrinos, hence they are called sterile neutrinos. If their
mass were in the keV-range they would be Dark Matter candidates. By
investigating the electron spectrum of the tritium beta-decay the parameter
space with masses up to the endpoint of 18.6 keV can be probed. A sterile
neutrino manifests as a kink-like structure in the spectrum. To achieve this
goal the TRISTAN project develops a new detector system for the KATRIN
experiment that can search for these new particles using the silicon drift
detector technology. One major effect on the performance of the detectors is
the so called dead layer. Here, a new characterization method for the prototype
detectors is presented using the Kr-83m decay conversion electrons. By tilting
the detector its effective dead layer increases, which leads to different peak
positions. The difference of peak positions between two tilting angles is
independent of source effects and is thus suitable for characterization.A dead
layer is then extracted by comparing the measurements to Monte-Carlo
simulations. A dead layer in the order of 50 nm was found.
