  11. Materials & MaGe MC • Cu: • Cresst, Gerda, Majorana • Majorana Cu stress test: ok for 35kg MaGe simulation • Kapton-cable: • pure K, K-Cu, K-Cu-Ni-Au • contamination measurement in HADES Need MC for contamination limit Gerda Collab. , Nov. 9-11, 2005 Page 11

  12. MaGe simulation results () (,) Gerda Collab. , Nov. 9-11, 2005 Page 12

  13. MaGe simulation results Dominant backgrounds: • 68Ge in crystals • 238U, 232Th in crystals <0.4 Bq/kg • 210Pb on crystal surface <0.2 Bq/kg • 238U, 232Th in Kapton cable <2 mBq/kg • 238U, 232Th in junction box <0.5mBq/kg Upper limit on other materials: Gerda internal note (GSTR-05-019) ready Gerda Collab. , Nov. 9-11, 2005 Page 13

  14. 3rd Test-stand: Galatea 3 stages for source inside Vacuum tank for laser,  &  sources Gerda Collab. , Nov. 9-11, 2005 Page 14

  15. Outlook Milchkanne Test-stand: More cycles, more lAr test Gerdalinchen Test-stand: Mikesch-II, Roland-I & II & III: resolution, mirror charge, pulse shape, crystal axis Galatea Vacuum Test-stand: with laser,  &  sources. all of the above, plus thickness of dead layers Gerda Collab. , Nov. 9-11, 2005 Page 15

  16. Conclusion • Learned from test-stands: • Crystals sensitive to IR radiation (both n,p-types) • Need axis orientation of each crystal (for pulse shape) • Crystals fragile with water • Learned from MC: • Dominant internal background sources located (68Ge in crystal, 238U 232Th in Kapton) • Upper limit for all suspension and cabling materials. • Complete prototype design of support & cable for Phase-II available.
