First data of the Majorana Demonstrator

The\textsc{ Majorana }Collaboration is constructing a system containing 44 kg of HPGe detectors to demonstrate the~feasibility and potential of a future tonne-scale experiment capable of probing the neutrino mass scale in the inverted-hierarchy region.~To realize this, a major goal of Majorana Demonstrator is to demonstrate a path forward to achieving a background rate at or below 1 cnt/(ROI-t-y) in the 4 keV region of interest around the Q-value at 2039 keV.~This goal is pursued through a combination of a significant reduction of radioactive impurities in construction materials with analytical methods for background rejection. The analysis tools~are based on run ranking, data reduction, pulse shape analysis, event coincidences, and time correlations. The first data corresponding to the~commissioning~of the \textsc{Demonstrator} analyzed using these techniques will be presented. The cuts developed to reject delayed charge recovery and multisite events will be described.
