A Study of Majorana Demonstrator Backgrounds with Bayesian Statistical Modeling The Majorana Demonstrator was a neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiment consisting of around 30 kg of germanium detectors enriched to 88% in 76Ge and around 14 kg of natural germanium … Read more
The Gallium Anomaly and the BEST Experiment Steve Elliott Los Alamos National Laboratory At the end of the last century, large volumes of gallium metal were used as targets to detect electron neutrinos (ne) from the Sun. A small … Read more
An Improved Background Model and Two-Neutrino Double-Beta Decay Measurement for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR Neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) is a hypothesized nuclear process that would provide direct evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model in the form of lepton number … Read more
