Cosmogenic Activation of Germanium Used for Tonne-Scale Rare Event Search Experiments
W. -Z. Wei, D. -M. Mei, C. Zhang
We report a comprehensive study of cosmogenic activation of germanium used for tonne-scale rare event search experiments. The germanium exposure to cosmic rays on the Earth's surfa…
Measuring Double-Electron Capture with Liquid Xenon Experiments
D. -M. Mei, I. Marshall, W. -Z. Wei +1
We investigate the possibilities of observing the decay mode for Xe in which two electrons are captured, two neutrinos are emitted, and the final daughter nucleus is in its…
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 Experiment
The MAJORANA Collaboration
The MAJORANA collaboration is actively pursuing research and development aimed at a tonne-scale 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay) experiment. The current, primary focus is the c…
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…
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…
Cosmic Ray Muon Flux at the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake
F. E. Gray, C. Ruybal, J. Totushek +3
Measuring the muon flux is important to the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake, for which several low background experiments are being planned. The nearly-vertical cosmic…
Early Results on Radioactive Background Characterization for Sanford Laboratory and DUSEL Experiments
D. -M. Mei, C. Zhang, K. Thomas +1
Measuring external sources of background for a deep underground laboratory at the Homestake Mine is an important step for the planned low-background experiments. The naturally occu…
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR: An R&D project towards a tonne-scale germanium neutrinoless double-beta decay search
Reyco Henning
The MAJORANA collaboration is pursuing the development of the so-called MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR. The DEMONSTRATOR is intended to perform research and development towards a tonne-scal…
