A New High-Intensity Source for Ultracold Neutrons
K. Abe, S. Ahmed, B. Algohi +77
The TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has completed a new superthermal source for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) at TRIUMF. It uses neutrons from a spallation targ…
A fast-switching magnet serving a spallation-driven ultracold neutron source
S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +47
A fast-switching, high-repetition-rate magnet and power supply have been developed for and operated at TRIUMF, to deliver a proton beam to the new ultracold neutron (UCN) facility.…
RFQD - a Decelerating Radio Frequency Quadrupole for the CERN Antiproton Facility
Y. Bylinsky, A. M. Lombardi, W. Pirkl
The RFQD is designed to decelerate antiprotons of momentum 100 MeV/c (kinetic energy 5.33MeV)down to a kinetic energy variable between ~10 keV and 120 keV. Inside the RFQ body, at…
A beamline for fundamental neutron physics at TRIUMF
S. Ahmed, T. Andalib, M. J. Barnes +44
This article describes the new primary proton beamline 1U at TRIUMF. The purpose of this beamline is to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN) for fundamental-physics experiments. It del…
