Search for Pauli Exclusion Principle Violating Atomic Transitions and Electron Decay with a P-type Point Contact Germanium Detector
N. Abgrall, I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone +66
A search for Pauli-exclusion-principle-violating K-alpha electron transitions was performed using 89.5 kg-d of data collected with a p-type point contact high-purity germanium dete…
Initial Results from the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
S. R. Elliott, N. Abgrall, I. J. Arnquist +64
Neutrinoless double-beta decay searches seek to determine the nature of neutrinos, the existence of a lepton violating process, and the effective Majorana neutrino mass. The {\sc M…
Muon Flux Measurements at the Davis Campus of the Sanford Underground Research Facility with the Majorana Demonstrator Veto System
N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +71
We report the first measurement of the total MUON flux underground at the Davis Campus of the Sanford Underground Research Facility at the 4850 ft level. Measurements were done wit…
The Majorana Demonstrator: A Search for Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay of 76Ge
Majorana Collaboration, W. Xu, N. Abgrall +63
Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a hypothesized process where in some even-even nuclei it might be possible for two neutrons to simultaneously decay into two protons and two elect…
A Dark Matter Search with MALBEK
