The Majorana Experiment
V. E. Guiseppe
The Majorana Collaboration is assembling an array of HPGe detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge-76. Initially, Majorana aims to construct a prototype module…
\textsc{MaGe} - a {\sc Geant4}-based Monte Carlo Application Framework for Low-background Germanium Experiments
Melissa Boswell, Yuen-Dat Chan, Jason A. Detwiler +20
We describe a physics simulation software framework, MAGE, that is based on the GEANT4 simulation toolkit. MAGE is used to simulate the response of ultra-low radioactive background…
Characterization of an INVS Model IV Neutron Counter for High Precision () Cross-Section Measurements
C. W. Arnold, T. B. Clegg, H. J Karwowski +3
A neutron counter designed for assay of radioactive materials has been adapted for beam experiments at TUNL. The cylindrical geometry and 60% maximum efficiency make it well suited…
Astroparticle Physics with a Customized Low-Background Broad Energy Germanium Detector
MAJORANA Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, M. Amman +100
The MAJORANA Collaboration is building the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, a 60 kg array of high purity germanium detectors housed in an ultra-low background shield at the Sanford Undergrou…
Determination of the Axial-Vector Weak Coupling Constant with Ultracold Neutrons
UCNA Collaboration, J. Liu, M. P. Mendenhall +37
A precise measurement of the neutron decay -asymmetry has been carried out using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN) from the pulsed spallation UCN source at the Los Alamos…
Low-Background gamma counting at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility
P. Finnerty, S. MacMullin, H. O. Back +6
The next generation of low-background physics experiments will require the use of materials with unprecedented radio-purity. A gamma-counting facility at the Kimballton Underground…
