Majorana Phase-II: 14 Detector Array

The design seen here houses between twelve and sixteen detectors in an annular cryostat, surrounding one or two central detectors. One or both of the central detectors (one is in production) will be segmented with 6 azimuthal and 2 axial contacts, as in Majorana, and have an ordinary cryostat (one crystal per cryostat).

Several of the Majorana technical concepts of cooling, signal management, pulse-shape discrimination and background rejection, etc. will be tested in Majorana Phase-II:

  1. Exterior view of annular cryostat
  2. Annular cryostat with cover partially removed
  3. Section view of cold part of annular cryostat
  4. Another view of cold part of annular cryostat
  5. Low background copper cryostat: recent detector
  6. Main Phase-II assembly cut-away view with supporting jack-plate
