Title: New Limits on Bosonic Dark Matter, Solar Axions, Pauli Exclusion Principle Violation, and Electron Decay from the Majorana Demonstrator

Abstract

We present new limits on exotic keV-scale physics based on 478 kg d of Majorana Demonstrator commissioning data. Constraints at the 90% confidence level are derived on bosonic dark matter (DM) and solar axion couplings, Pauli exclusion principle violating (PEPV) decay, and electron decay using monoenergetic peak signal limits above our background. Our most stringent DM constraints are set for 11.8 keV mass particles, limiting gAe<4.5×10-13 for pseudoscalars and (α'/α)<9.7×10-28 for vectors. We also report a 14.4 keV solar axion coupling limit of geffAN×gAe<3.8×10-17, a 12β2<8.5×10-48 limit on the strength of PEPV electron transitions, and a lower limit on the electron lifetime of τe>1.2×1024 yr for e-→ invisible.

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

Journal Article Aalseth, C. E. ; Abgrall, N. ; Aguayo, E. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The MAJORANA Collaboration is operating an array of high purity Ge detectors to search for neutrinoless double-β decay in ⁷⁶Ge. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR comprises 44.1 kg of Ge detectors (29.7 kg enriched in ⁷⁶Ge) split between two modules contained in a low background shield at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. In this paper, we present results from data taken during construction, commissioning, and the start of full operations. We achieve unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM at Q_ββ 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 × 10²⁵ yr (90% C.L.). This result constrains the effective Majorana neutrino mass to below 240-520 meV, depending on the matrix elements used. In our experimental configuration with the lowest background, the background is 4.0more »« less

Search for Pauli exclusion principle violating atomic transitions and electron decay with a p-type point contact germanium detector

Journal Article Abgrall, N. ; Arnquist, I. J. ; Avignone, F. T. ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

A search for Pauli-exclusion-principle-violating Kα electron transitions was performed using 89.5 kg-d of data collected with a p-type point contact high-purity germanium detector operated at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility. A lower limit on the transition lifetime of 5.8×1030 s at 90% C.L. was set by looking for a peak at 10.6 keV resulting from the X-ray and Auger electrons present following the transition. A similar analysis was done to look for the decay of atomic K-shell electrons into neutrinos, resulting in a lower limit of 6.8×1030 s at 90% C.L. It is estimated that the Majorana Demonstrator, a 44more »« less

The Majorana collaboration is constructing the Majorana Demonstrator at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at the Homestake gold mine, in Lead, SD. The apparatus will use Ge detectors, enriched in isotope 76Ge, to demonstrate the feasibility of a large-scale Ge detector experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The long half-life of this postulated process requires that the apparatus be extremely low in radioactive isotopes whose decays may produce backgrounds to the search. The radioassay program conducted by the collaboration to ensure that the materials comprising the apparatus are sufficiently pure is described. The resulting measurements from gamma-ray counting,more »« less

The processing of enriched germanium for the Majorana Demonstrator and R&D for a next generation double-beta decay experiment

Journal Article Abgrall, N. ; Arnquist, I. J. ; Avignone III, F. T. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Majorana Demonstrator is an array of point-contact Ge detectors fabricated from Ge isotopically enriched to 88% in to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The processing of Ge for germanium detectors is a well-known technology. However, because of the high cost of Ge enriched in special procedures were required to maximize the yield of detector mass and to minimize exposure to cosmic rays. These procedures include careful accounting for the material; shielding it to reduce cosmogenic generation of radioactive isotopes; and development of special reprocessing techniques for contaminated solid germanium, shavings, grindings, acid etchant and cutting fluids from detectormore »« less

Initial Results from the Majorana Demonstrator

The MAJORANA Collaboration has assembled an array of high purity Ge detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ⁷⁶Ge with the goal of establishing the required background and scalability of a Ge-based next-generation ton-scale experiment. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR consists of 44 kg of high-purity Ge (HPGe) detectors (30 kg enriched in ⁷⁶Ge) with a low-noise p-type point contact (PPC) geometry. The detectors are split between two modules which are contained in a single lead and high-purity copper shield at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota.
