The Majorana Experiment
V. E. Guiseppe
The Majorana Collaboration is assembling an array of HPGe detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge-76. Initially, Majorana aims to construct a prototype module…
\textsc{MaGe} - a {\sc Geant4}-based Monte Carlo Application Framework for Low-background Germanium Experiments
Melissa Boswell, Yuen-Dat Chan, Jason A. Detwiler +20
We describe a physics simulation software framework, MAGE, that is based on the GEANT4 simulation toolkit. MAGE is used to simulate the response of ultra-low radioactive background…
Astroparticle Physics with a Customized Low-Background Broad Energy Germanium Detector
MAJORANA Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, M. Amman +100
The MAJORANA Collaboration is building the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, a 60 kg array of high purity germanium detectors housed in an ultra-low background shield at the Sanford Undergrou…
Low-Background gamma counting at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility
P. Finnerty, S. MacMullin, H. O. Back +6
The next generation of low-background physics experiments will require the use of materials with unprecedented radio-purity. A gamma-counting facility at the Kimballton Underground…
