Bayesian inference of high-purity germanium detector impurities based on capacitance measurements and machine-learning accelerated capacitance calculations

Iris Abt, Christopher Gooch, Felix Hagemann +4

The impurity density in high-purity germanium detectors is crucial to understand and simulate such detectors. However, the information about the impurities provided by the manufact…

Identification and simulation of surface alpha events on passivated surfaces of germanium detectors and the influence of metalisation

Iris Abt, Christopher Gooch, Felix Hagemann +5

Events from alpha interactions on the surfaces of germanium detectors are a major contribution to the background in germanium-based searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Sur…

The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND)

LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, A. Abramov +230

The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0) would show that lepton number is violated, reveal that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and provide information on neutr…
