Abstract

The aim of the KATRIN experiment is to determine the absolute neutrino mass scale in a model independent way, by measuring the electron energy spectrum shape near the endpoint of tritium beta decay. For this purpose, the KATRIN experiment uses two spectrometers with high voltage, and many superconducting and air coils, to create the necessary electric and magnetic fields. In order to design the spectrometer electrodes and the coils, and to investigate and understand the various background processes and systematic effects, one needs various accurate electric and magnetic field, charged particle tracking and scattering computations, for which we use mainly our self-written C and C++ codes.
