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…
Precision Measurement of the 6He Half-Life and the Weak Axial Current in Nuclei
A. Knecht, R. Hong, D. W. Zumwalt +8
Studies of 6He beta decay along with tritium can play an important role in testing ab-initio nuclear wave-function calculations and may allow for fixing low-energy constants in eff…
The Majorana Demonstrator
E. Aguayo, J. E. Fast, E. W. Hoppe +90
A brief review of the history and neutrino physics of double beta decay is given. A description of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR research and development program including background r…
Depth Requirements for a Tonne-scale 76Ge Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay Experiment
The MAJORANA Collaboration, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +90
Neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments can potentially determine the Majorana or Dirac nature of the neutrino, and aid in understanding the neutrino absolute mass scale and hie…
Search for an Annual Modulation in a P-type Point Contact Germanium Dark Matter Detector
C. E. Aalseth, P. S. Barbeau, J. Colaresi +15
Fifteen months of cumulative CoGeNT data are examined for indications of an annual modulation, a predicted signature of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) interactions. Pre…
Arrival time and magnitude of airborne fission products from the Fukushima, Japan, reactor incident as measured in Seattle, WA, USA
J. Diaz Leon, D. A. Jaffe, J. Kaspar +4
We report results of air monitoring started due to the recent natural catastrophe on 11 March 2011 in Japan and the severe ensuing damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor…
