Design study of a HPGe detector array for β-decay investigation in laboratory ECR plasmas
In the frame of the PANDORA project, a new experimental approach aims at measuring in-plasma β-decay rate as a function of thermodynamical conditions of the environment, namely a laboratory magnetized plasma able to mimic some stellar-like conditions ...

Operation of a high purity germanium crystal in liquid argon as a Compton suppressed radiation spectrometer [PDF]
A high purity germanium crystal was operated in liquid argon as a Compton suppressed radiation spectrometer. Spectroscopic quality resolution of less than 1% of the full-width half maximum of full energy deposition peaks was demonstrated.

New method for the production of thin and stable, segmented n$$+$$ contacts in HPGe detectors
The realization of pulsed-laser diffused, thin n$$+$$ + contacts on high purity germanium (HPGe) and their successful segmentation is described. The contacts have been obtained by a laser-induced diffusion of Sb atoms, deposited by sputtering on Ge ...

Alpha Backgrounds for HPGe Detectors in Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiments [PDF]
The Majorana Experiment will use arrays of enriched HPGe detectors to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge. Such a decay, if found, would show lepton-number violation and confirm the Majorana nature of the neutrino.

Estimation of Fano factor for oversquare HPGe detector
Fano factor is a quantity used to measure the departure of the observed variance in the number of charge carriers produced from that predicted using poison statistics. Fano factor varies with the detector type.
