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…
Development of a low-level Ar-37 calibration standard
R. M. Williams, C. E. Aalseth, T. W. Bowyer +16
Argon-37 is an environmental signature of an underground nuclear explosion. Producing and quantifying low-level Ar-37 standards is an important step in the development of sensitive…
Search for An Annual Modulation in Three Years of CoGeNT Dark Matter Detector Data
C. E. Aalseth, P. S. Barbeau, J. Colaresi +12
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are well-established dark matter candidates. WIMP interactions with sensitive detectors are expected to display a characteristic annual…
Maximum Likelihood Signal Extraction Method Applied to 3.4 years of CoGeNT Data
C. E. Aalseth, P. S. Barbeau, J. Diaz Leon +8
CoGeNT has taken data for over 3 years, with 1136 live days of data accumulated as of April 23, 2013. We report on the results of a maximum likelihood analysis to extract any possi…
A Segmented, Enriched N-type Germanium Detector for Neutrinoless Double Beta-Decay Experiments
L. E. Leviner, C. E. Aalseth, M. W. Ahmed +27
We present data characterizing the performance of the first segmented, N-type Ge detector, isotopically enriched to 85% Ge. This detector, based on the Ortec PT6x2 design an…
CoGeNT: A Search for Low-Mass Dark Matter using p-type Point Contact Germanium Detectors
C. E. Aalseth, P. S. Barbeau, J. Colaresi +12
CoGeNT employs p-type point-contact (PPC) germanium detectors to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). By virtue of its low energy threshold and ability to rejec…
