Study of a highly-segmented HPGe detector at the Oroville Low-Background counting facility.
ORAL
Abstract
We present initial results of a study of a 8x5 segmented HPGe detector at the Oroville low radioactive background counting facility. The goal is to field a highly-segmented detector at a remote, low-background facility for an extended period of time and to evaluate its efficiency of rejecting residual radioactive backgrounds at such a facility. Applications of this study to the proposed Majorana experiment that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of $^{76}$Ge will also be discussed.
