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…
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…
Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment
The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113
The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…
