Abstract

The proposed Majorana experiment is based on an array of segmented intrinsic Ge detectors with a total mass of 500 kg of Ge isotopically enriched to 86% in ⁷⁶Ge. Background reduction will be accomplished by: material selection, detector segmentation, pulse shape analysis, electro-formation of copper parts, and granularity of detector spacing. The predicted experimental sensitivity for measurement of the neutrinoless double-beta decay mode of ⁷⁶Ge, over a data acquisition period of 5000 kg·y, is T_1/2^0ν ∼ 4×10²⁷y.
