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…
A Dark Matter Search with MALBEK
G. K. Giovanetti, N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo +84
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is an array of natural and enriched high purity germanium detectors that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76-Ge and perform a search…
Measurement of the half-life of the T= mirror decay of Ne and its implication on physics beyond the standard model
L. J. Broussard, H. O. Back, M. S. Boswell +19
The superallowed mixed mirror decay of Ne to F is excellently suited for high precision studies of the weak interaction. How…
Neutron inelastic scattering in natural Cu as a background in neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments
M. S. Boswell, S. R. Elliott, D. V. Perepelitsa +5
Experiments designed to study rare processes, such as neutrinoless double beta decay (), are crucial tests for physics beyond the standard model. These experiments rely on re…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR: Progress towards showing the feasibility of a tonne-scale 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment
P. Finnerty, E. Aguayo, M. Amman +80
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of the 76Ge isotope with a mixed array of enriched and natural germanium detectors. The observation of…
Neutron-induced gamma-ray production cross sections for the first excited-state transitions in Ne-20 and Ne-22
S. MacMullin, M. Boswell, M. Devlin +8

The Majorana experiment: an ultra-low background search for neutrinoless double-beta decay
D. G. Phillips, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +86
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would resolve the Majorana nature of the neutrino and could provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. The in…
The Majorana Demonstrator
E. Aguayo, J. E. Fast, E. W. Hoppe +90
A brief review of the history and neutrino physics of double beta decay is given. A description of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR research and development program including background r…
Depth Requirements for a Tonne-scale 76Ge Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay Experiment
The MAJORANA Collaboration, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +90
Neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments can potentially determine the Majorana or Dirac nature of the neutrino, and aid in understanding the neutrino absolute mass scale and hie…
