Subsurface cosmogenic and radiogenic production of ^{42}Ar
Sagar S. Poudel, Ben Loer, Richard Saldanha +2
Radioactive decays from ^{42}Ar and its progeny ^{42}K are potential background sources in large-scale liquid-argon-based neutrino and dark matter experiments. In the atmosphere, ^…
Search for Zero-Neutrino Double Beta Decay in 76Ge with the Majorana Demonstrator
C. E. Aalseth, N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo +126
The \MJ\ Collaboration is operating an array of high purity Ge detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge. The \MJ\ \DEM\ comprises 44.1~kg of Ge detectors…
Scintillation efficiency measurement of Na recoils in NaI(Tl) below the DAMA/LIBRA energy threshold
Jingke Xu, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice +18
The dark matter interpretation of the DAMA modulation signal depends on the NaI(Tl) scintillation efficiency of nuclear recoils. Previous measurements for Na recoils have large dis…
Measurement of Scintillation and Ionization Yield and Scintillation Pulse Shape from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon
H. Cao, T. Alexander, A. Aprahamian +32
We have measured the scintillation and ionization yield of recoiling nuclei in liquid argon as a function of applied electric field by exposing a dual-phase liquid argon time proje…
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…
A Segmented, Enriched N-type Germanium Detector for Neutrinoless Double Beta-Decay Experiments
L. E. Leviner, C. E. Aalseth, M. W. Ahmed +27
We present data characterizing the performance of the first segmented, N-type Ge detector, isotopically enriched to 85% Ge. This detector, based on the Ortec PT6x2 design an…
