\textsc{Majorana}: An Ultra-Low Background Enriched-Germanium Detector Array for Fundamental Physics Measurements

The \textsc{Majorana} collaboration will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu \beta \beta )$ by fielding an array of high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors in ultra-clean electroformed-copper cryostats deep underground. Recent advances in HPGe detector technology, in particular P-type Point-Contact (PPC) detectors, present exciting new techniques for identifying and reducing backgrounds to the 0$\nu \beta \beta $. This should result in greatly improved sensitivity over previous generation experiments. The exceptionally low energy threshold attainable with PPC detectors also enables a broad physics program including searches for dark matter and axions. The \textsc{Majorana Demonstrator} is an R{\&}D program that will field two $\sim $20 kg modules of PPC detectors at Sanford Underground Laboratory. Approximatly half of the detectors will be enriched to 86{\%} in $^{76}$Ge. Here, we will cover the motivation, design, recent progress and current status of this effort, with special attention to its physics reach.
