Neutron inelastic scattering in natural Cu as a background in neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments
M. S. Boswell, S. R. Elliott, D. V. Perepelitsa +5
Experiments designed to study rare processes, such as neutrinoless double beta decay (), are crucial tests for physics beyond the standard model. These experiments rely on re…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR: Progress towards showing the feasibility of a tonne-scale 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment
P. Finnerty, E. Aguayo, M. Amman +80
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of the 76Ge isotope with a mixed array of enriched and natural germanium detectors. The observation of…
Neutron-induced gamma-ray production cross sections for the first excited-state transitions in Ne-20 and Ne-22
S. MacMullin, M. Boswell, M. Devlin +8
Background: Neutron-induced reactions are a significant concern for experiments that require extremely low levels of radioactive backgrounds. Measurements of gamma-ray production c…
Fast-Neutron Activation of Long-Lived Nuclides in Natural Pb
V. E. Guiseppe, S. R. Elliott, N. E. Fields +1
We measured the production of the long-lived nuclides Bi-207, Pb-202, and Hg-194 in a sample of natural Pb due to high-energy neutron interactions using a neutron beam at the Los A…
Characteristics of Signals Originating Near the Lithium-Diffused N+ Contact of High Purity Germanium P-Type Point Contact Detectors
The MAJORANA Collaboration, E. Aguayo, M. Amman +83
A study of signals originating near the lithium-diffused n+ contact of p-type point contact (PPC) high purity germanium detectors (HPGe) is presented. The transition region between…
Partial gamma-ray production cross sections for (n,xng) reactions in natural argon from 1 - 30 MeV
S. MacMullin, M. Boswell, M. Devlin +8
Background: Neutron-induced backgrounds are a significant concern for experiments that require extremely low levels of radioactive backgrounds such as direct dark matter searches a…
