CAGE: An Internal Source Scanning Cryostat for HPGe Characterization
G. Othman, C. Wiseman, T. H. Burritt +8
The success of current and future-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments relies on the ability to eliminate or reduce extraneous backgrounds. In addition to construc…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment's construction, commissioning, and performance
N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo, I. J. Arnquist +108
Background: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , a modular array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, was constructed to demonstrate backgrounds low enough to ju…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR Readout Electronics System
N. Abgrall, M. Amman, I. J. Arnquist +76
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR comprises two arrays of high-purity germanium detectors constructed to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76-Ge and other physics beyond the Sta…
The Design, Construction, and Commissioning of the KATRIN Experiment
M. Aker, K. Altenmüller, J. F. Amsbaugh +226
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment, which aims to make a direct and model-independent determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale, is a complex experiment wit…
Beta decay of molecular tritium
Y. -T. Lin, T. H. Burritt, C. Claessens +12
The beta decay of tritium in the form of molecular TT is the basis of sensitive experiments to measure neutrino mass. The final-state electronic, vibrational, and rotational excita…
Focal-plane detector system for the KATRIN experiment
J. F. Amsbaugh, J. Barrett, A. Beglarian +48
The focal-plane detector system for the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment consists of a multi-pixel silicon p-i-n-diode array, custom readout electronics, two supercon…
Dead layer on silicon p-i-n diode charged-particle detectors
B. L. Wall, J. F. Amsbaugh, A. Beglarian +25
Semiconductor detectors in general have a dead layer at their surfaces that is either a result of natural or induced passivation, or is formed during the process of making a contac…
Alpha Backgrounds for HPGe Detectors in Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiments
R. A. Johnson, T. H. Burritt, S. R. Elliott +3
The Majorana Experiment will use arrays of enriched HPGe detectors to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge. Such a decay, if found, would show lepton-number violat…
Measurement of the and Total B Solar Neutrino Fluxes with the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Phase-III Data Set
B. Aharmim, S. N. Ahmed, J. F. Amsbaugh +147
This paper details the solar neutrino analysis of the 385.17-day Phase-III data set acquired by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). An array of He proportional counters was…
Four methods for determining the composition of trace radioactive surface contamination of low-radioactivity metal
H. M. O'Keeffe, T. H. Burritt, B. T. Cleveland +15
Four methods for determining the composition of low-level uranium- and thorium-chain surface contamination are presented. One method is the observation of Cherenkov light productio…
