The Majorana Demonstrator
arXiv preprint arXiv:1109.6913, 2011•arxiv.org
A brief review of the history and neutrino physics of double beta decay is given. A
description of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR research and development program
including background reduction techniques is presented in some detail. The application of
point contact (PC) detectors to the experiment is discussed, including the effectiveness of
pulse shape analysis. The predicted sensitivity of a PC detector array enriched to 86% in
76Ge is given.
