Radio-assay of Titanium samples for the LUX Experiment

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +63

We report on the screening of samples of titanium metal for their radio-purity. The screening process described in this work led to the selection of materials used in the construct…

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…

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…

Data Acquisition and Readout System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +60

LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the LUX detector are pro…

Magnetism in Closed-shell Quantum Dots: Emergence of Magnetic Bipolarons

R. Oszwałdowski, I. Žutić, A. G. Petukhov

Similar to atoms and nuclei, semiconductor quantum dots exhibit formation of shells. Predictions of magnetic behavior of the dots are often based on the shell occupancies. Thus, cl…
