Materials Data on Th(BOs)2 by Materials Project

Th(OsB)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Os2- atoms. All Th–Os bond lengths are 3.04 Å. Os2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Th4+ and four equivalent B atoms. There are two shorter (2.10 Å) and two longer (2.18 Å) Os–B bond lengths. B is bonded to four equivalent Os2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BOs4 trigonal pyramids.

Energy calibration of germanium detectors for the Majorana Demonstrator

The Majorana Demonstrator was a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) in the 76 Ge isotope. It was staged at the 4850-foot level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. The experiment consisted of 58 germanium detectors housed in a low background shield and was calibrated once per week by deploying a 228 Th line source for 1 to 2 hours. The energy scale calibration determination for the detector array was automated using custom analysis tools. We describe the offline procedure for calibration of the Demonstrator germanium detectors, including the simultaneous fitting of multiple spectral peaks, estimation of energy scale uncertainties, and the automation of the calibration procedure.
