Abstract The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment measures the neutrino mass from a precise measurement of the endpoint region of the kinematic tritium β -decay spectrum by using a spectrometer combining magnetic adiabatic collimation and electrostatic filtering (MAC-E filter). For calibration purposes, KATRIN uses a monoenergetic angular-selective photoelectron source. We present an upgrade of this source, which was installed in the KATRIN beamline in February 2022. The source allows for a wide range of accessible electron energies up to 32keV and a variation of the angle with regard to the magnetic field. These features are used for precise measurements of electron scattering effects off tritium molecules in KATRIN’s gaseous tritium source, for investigations of angular-dependent backscattering for example at KATRIN’s focal-plane detector, and for studies on adiabatic transport in the main spectrometer.
