The Dortmund Low Background Facility - Low-Background Gamma Ray Spectrometry with an Artificial Overburden
Holger Gastrich, Claus Gößling, Reiner Klingenberg +5
High-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors used for low-background gamma ray spectrometry are usually operated under either a fairly low overburden of the order of one meter of water e…
Results of a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay using the COBRA demonstrator
Joachim Ebert, Matthew Fritts, Daniel Gehre +18
Neutrinoless double- decay ( decay) is a hypothetical process that can occur if the neutrino is its own antiparticle. The COBRA collaboration operates a demonstrator to se…
Characterization of a large CdZnTe coplanar quad-grid semiconductor detector
J. Ebert, D. Gehre, C. Gößling +17
The COBRA collaboration aims to search for neutrinoless double beta-decay of Cd. A demonstrator setup with 64 CdZnTe semiconductor detectors, each with a volume of 1cm,…
Long-Term Stability of Underground Operated CZT Detectors Based on the Analysis of Intrinsic Cd β-Decay
J. Ebert, C. Goessling, D. Gehre +17
The COBRA collaboration operates a demonstrator setup at the underground facility LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, located in Italy) to prove the technological capabiliti…
The COBRA demonstrator at the LNGS underground laboratory
The COBRA collaboration, J. Ebert, M. Fritts +28
The COBRA demonstrator, a prototype for a large-scale experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta-decay, was built at the underground laboratory Laboratori Nazionali del Gran…
Top-Quark Physics at the LHC
Kevin Kröninger, Andreas B. Meyer, Peter Uwer
The top quark is the heaviest of all known elementary particles. It was discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron. With the start of the LHC in 2009, an unpr…
Objective Bayesian analysis of counting experiments with correlated sources of background
Diego Casadei, Cornelius Grunwald, Kevin Kröninger +1
Searches for faint signals in counting experiments are often encountered in particle physics and astrophysics, as well as in other fields. Many problems can be reduced to the case…
