Title: Electrical Signal Path Study and Component Assay for the MAJORANA N-Type Segmented Contact Detector

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1000958· OSTI ID:1000958

The purpose of the present electrical signal path study is to explore the various issues related to the deployment of highly-segmented low-background Ge detectors for the MAJORANA double-beta decay experiment. A significant challenge is to simultaneously satisfy competing requirements for the mechanical design, electrical readout performance, and radiopurity specifications from the MAJORANA project. Common to all rare search experiments, there is a very stringent limit on the acceptable radioactivity level of all the electronics components involved. Some of the findings are summarized in this report.
