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 ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…
Energy Calibration of Germanium Detectors for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone, A. S. Barabash +53
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR was a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay () in the Ge isotope. It was staged at the 4850-foot level of the Sanford Underground Researc…
First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
Performance of novel VUV-sensitive Silicon Photo-Multipliers for nEXO
G. Gallina, Y. Guan, F. Retiere +162
Liquid xenon time projection chambers are promising detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0), due to their response uniformity, monolithic sensitive volume,…
Charge Trapping and Energy Performance of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone, A. S. Barabash +55
P-type point contact (PPC) high-purity germanium detectors are an important technology in astroparticle and nuclear physics due to their superb energy resolution, low noise, and pu…
