Alpha Backgrounds for HPGe Detectors in Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiments
R. A. Johnson, T. H. Burritt, S. R. Elliott +3
The Majorana Experiment will use arrays of enriched HPGe detectors to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge. Such a decay, if found, would show lepton-number violat…
Cross Section Measurement of 9Be(γ,n)8Be and Implications for α+α+n -> 9Be in the r-Process
C. W. Arnold, T. B. Clegg, C. Iliadis +4
Models of the r-process are sensitive to the production rate of 9Be because, in explosive environments rich in neutrons, alpha(alpha n,gamma)9Be is the primary mechanism for bridgi…
The Majorana experiment: an ultra-low background search for neutrinoless double-beta decay
D. G. Phillips, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +86
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would resolve the Majorana nature of the neutrino and could provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. The in…
Measurement of airborne fission products in Chapel Hill, NC, USA from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactor accident
S. MacMullin, G. K. Giovanetti, M. P. Green +4
We present measurements of airborne fission products in Chapel Hill, NC, USA, from 62 days following the March 11, 2011, accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Air…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR: A Search for Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay of Germanium-76
MAJORANA Collaboration, A. G. Schubert, E. Aguayo +90
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would determine whether the neutrino is a Majorana particle and provide information on the absolute scale of neutrino mass. The MA…
Measurements of the 48Ca(γ,n) Reaction
J. R. Tompkins, C. W. Arnold, H. J. Karwowski +3
The 48Ca(γ,n) cross section was measured using γ-ray beams of energies between 9.5 and 15.3 MeV generated at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) high-intensity γ-ra…
