The Majorana Demonstrator will search for the neutrinoless double-beta ( ββ 0 ν ) decay of the isotope Ge with a mixed array of enriched and natural germanium detectors. The observation of this rare decay would indicate that the neutrino is its own antiparticle, demonstrate that lepton number is not...
