Improved limits on Fierz Interference using asymmetry measurements from the UCNA experiment

Xuan Sun, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +56

The Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry (UCNA) experiment was designed to measure the -decay asymmetry parameter, , for free neutron decay. In the experiment, polarized ultracold n…

Final results for the neutron -asymmetry parameter from the UCNA experiment

B. Plaster, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +91

The UCNA experiment was designed to measure the neutron -asymmetry parameter using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN). UCN produced via downscattering in solid deuterium w…

Monte Carlo Simulations of Trapped Ultracold Neutrons in the UCNτ Experiment

Nathan Callahan, Chen-Yu Liu, Francisco Gonzalez +37

In the UCNτ experiment, ultracold neutrons (UCN) are confined by magnetic fields and the Earth's gravitational field. Field-trapping mitigates the problem of UCN loss on material s…

Measurement of the neutron lifetime using a magneto-gravitational trap

Nathan Callahan

Precision measurements of the free neutron lifetime , when combined with measurements of the axial vector form factor, can be used to test unitarity of the CKM matrix. Non-uni…

Search for dark matter decay of the free neutron from the UCNA experiment: n

X. Sun, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +57

It has been proposed recently that a previously unobserved neutron decay branch to a dark matter particle () could account for the discrepancy in the neutron lifetime observed i…
