Unipolar charge sensing with coplanar electrodes-application to semiconductor detectors

TL;DR: In this article, a preferential sensing of single-polarity charge carriers in ionization detectors is presented, which achieves the same function as Frisch grids commonly employed in gas ion chambers but uses a coplanar electrode configuration suitable for semiconductor detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Majorana Demonstrator Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiment

N. Abgrall, +87 more
TL;DR: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR as mentioned in this paper is a detector for the double-beta decay of the isotope Ge with a mixed array of enriched and natural germanium detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Neutrinoless Double-β Decay in ^{76}Ge with the Majorana Demonstrator.

Craig E. Aalseth, +128 more
TL;DR: The Majorana Demonstrator as discussed by the authors achieved an energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM at Qββ and a very low background with no observed candidate events in 9.95 kg yr of enriched Ge exposure, resulting in a lower limit on the half-life of 1.9×10−25−25 −1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low capacitance large volume shaped-field germanium detector

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-volume germanium detector with a full-depletion capacitance of only approximately 1 pf has been fabricated and the effect of impurity space charge was utilized to obtain an appropriate electric field distribution in the detector so that carriers are collected on a small area electrode.
