The Majorana Demonstrator: A Search for Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay of Germanium-76
The Majorana Demonstrator: A Search for Neutrinoless Double-beta Decay of Germanium-76
The observation of neutrino less double-beta decay would show that neutrinos are Majorana particles and provide information on neutrino mass. Attaining sensitivities for neutrino masses in the inverted hierarchy region requires large, tonne scale detectors with extremely low backgrounds, at the level of 10−3 counts keV−1 t−1 y−1 or lower …
