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…
Triplet Lifetime in Gaseous Argon
Michael Akashi-Ronquest, Amanda Bacon, Christopher Benson +27
MiniCLEAN is a single-phase liquid argon dark matter experiment. During the initial cooling phase, impurities within the cold gas (140 K) were monitored by measuring the scintil…
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…
Background model for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
C. Cuesta, N. Abgrall, I. J. Arnquist +64
The MAJORANA Collaboration is constructing a system containing 44 kg of high-purity Ge (HPGe) detectors to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of a future tonne-scale experim…
A Rn-220 source for the calibration of low-background experiments
Rafael F. Lang, Andrew Brown, Ethan Brown +5
We characterize two 40 kBq sources of electrodeposited Th-228 for use in low-background experiments. The sources efficiently emanate Rn-220, a noble gas that can diffuse in a detec…
The Majorana Demonstrator Radioassay Program
N. Abgrall, I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone +82
The MAJORANA collaboration is constructing the MAJORANA DEMONSTATOR at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at the Homestake gold mine, in Lead, SD. The apparatus will use Ge…
