Characterization of Low-energy Ionization Signals in Silicon Detectors for the Nab Experiment
R. J. Taylor, August Mendelsohn, Arlee Shelby +22
The Nab (Neutron a b) experiment is designed to measure the beta-antineutrino angular correlation in free neutron decay with an ultimate precision goal of 0.1%, providing input…
Environmental Stabilization of Perfect-Crystal Neutron Interferometry Using a Large Vacuum Chamber with Cryogenic Sample Access
Robert Valdillez, David G. Cory, Robert W. Haun +9
Perfect-crystal neutron interferometry has been a useful tool in measuring nuclear-interactions, probing fundamental physics, and exploring quantum phenomenon. Historically, neutro…
From Commissioning to Precision Data-Taking: Resolving Operational Challenges in the Nab Detector Systems
L. J. Broussard, H. Acharya, R. Alarcon +36
Our understanding of the weak mixing of quarks, described by the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) matrix, currently presents an anomaly. Thanks to major strides in both theory and e…
First Full Dalitz Plot Measurement in Neutron -Decay using the Nab Spectrometer and Implications for New Physics
Francisco M. Gonzalez, Jin Ha Choi, Himal Acharya +89
Precision measurements of observables in neutron -decay are used to test the Standard Model description of the weak interaction and search for evidence of new physics. The Nab…
Larmor Power Limit for Cyclotron Radiation of Relativistic Particles in a Waveguide
N. Buzinsky, R. J. Taylor, W. Byron +25
Cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) is a modern technique for high-precision energy spectroscopy, in which the energy of a charged particle in a magnetic field is meas…
