Development of a low-level Ar-37 calibration standard
R. M. Williams, C. E. Aalseth, T. W. Bowyer +16
Argon-37 is an environmental signature of an underground nuclear explosion. Producing and quantifying low-level Ar-37 standards is an important step in the development of sensitive…
Assay methods for U-238, Th-232, and Pb-210 in lead and calibration of Bi-210 bremsstrahlung emission from lead
John L. Orrell, Craig E. Aalseth, Isaac J. Arnquist +9
Assay methods for measuring 238U, 232Th, and 210Pb concentrations in refined lead are presented. The 238U and 232Th concentrations are determined using isotope dilution inductively…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR: A Search for Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay of Germanium-76
MAJORANA Collaboration, S. R. Elliott, N. Abgrall +80
The {\sc Majorana} collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay using Ge, which has been shown to have a number of advantages in terms of sensitivities and…
Highly Sensitive Gamma-Spectrometers of GERDA for Material Screening: Part 2
D. Budjáš, W. Hampel, M. Heisel +8
The previous article about material screening for GERDA points out the importance of strict material screening and selection for radioimpurities as a key to meet the aspired backgr…
Highly sensitive gamma-spectrometers of GERDA for material screening: Part I
D. Budjáš, C. Cattadori, A. Gangapshev +16
The GERDA experiment aims to search for the neutrinoless double beta-decay of 76Ge and possibly for other rare processes. The sensitivity of the first phase is envisioned to be mor…
