Description
The MAJORANA collaboration is actively pursuing research and development aimed at a
tonne-scale 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay (bb(0n)-decay) experiment. The current, primary
focus is the construction of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment, an R&D effort that
will field approximately 40kg of germanium detectors with mixed enrichment levels. This article
provides a status update on the construction of the DEMONSTRATOR and an overview of recent R&D activities.
