Space-based Measurements of Neutron Lifetime: Approaches to Resolving the Neutron Lifetime Anomaly
David J. Lawrence, Jack T. Wilson, Patrick N. Peplowski
Free neutrons have a measured lifetime of 880 s, but disagreement between existing laboratory measurements of ~10 s have persisted over many years. This uncertainty has implication…
Measurement of the Free Neutron Lifetime using the Neutron Spectrometer on NASA's Lunar Prospector Mission
Jack T. Wilson, David J. Lawrence, Patrick N. Peplowski +2
We use data from the Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer to make the second space-based measurement of the free neutron lifetime finding $τ_n=887 \pm 14_\text{stat}{\:^{+7}_{-3\:…
Space-Based Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime using Data from the Neutron Spectrometer on NASA's MESSENGER Mission
Jack T. Wilson, David J. Lawrence, Patrick N. Peplowski +2
We establish the feasibility of measuring the neutron lifetime via an alternative, space-based class of methods, which use neutrons generated by galactic cosmic ray spallation of p…
