An experimental search for an explanation of the difference between beam and bottle neutron lifetime measurements
M. F. Blatnik, L. S. Blokland, N. Callahan +32
The past two decades have yielded several new measurements and reanalysis of older measurements of the neutron lifetime. These have led to a 4.4 standard deviation discrepancy betw…
Development of Two-Dimensional Neutron Imager with a Sandwich Configuration
Y. Kamiya, R. Nishimura, S. Mitsui +11
We have developed a two-dimensional neutron imager based on a semiconductor pixelated sensor, especially designed for experiments measuring of a spatial and a temporal behavior of…
Demonstration of Sub-micron UCN Position Resolution using Room-temperature CMOS Sensor
S. Lin, J. K. Baldwin, M. Blatnik +25
High spatial resolution of ultracold neutron (UCN) measurement is of growing interest to UCN experiments such as UCN spectrometers, UCN polarimeters, quantum physics of UCNs, and q…
Design of a SR spectrometer with ultrahigh arrays at China Spallation Neutron Source
Jingyu Dong, Ziwen Pan, Tianyi Yang +9
A new muon source has been proposed to conduct muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (SR) measurements at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). Only 1 Hz of the CSNS proton…
Fill and dump measurement of the neutron lifetime using an asymmetric magneto-gravitational trap
C. Cude-Woods, F. M. Gonzalez, E. M. Fries +39
The past two decades have yielded several new measurements and reanalyses of older measurements of the neutron lifetime. These have led to a 4.4 standard deviation discrepancy betw…
Improved neutron lifetime measurement with UCN
F. M. Gonzalez, E. M. Fries, C. Cude-Woods +41
We report an improved measurement of the free neutron lifetime using the UCN apparatus at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. We counted a total of approximately $38\…
Improved limits on Fierz Interference using asymmetry measurements from the UCNA experiment
Xuan Sun, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +56
The Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry (UCNA) experiment was designed to measure the -decay asymmetry parameter, , for free neutron decay. In the experiment, polarized ultracold n…
Final results for the neutron -asymmetry parameter from the UCNA experiment
B. Plaster, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +91
The UCNA experiment was designed to measure the neutron -asymmetry parameter using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN). UCN produced via downscattering in solid deuterium w…
A boron-coated CCD camera for direct detection of Ultracold Neutrons (UCN)
K. Kuk, C. Cude-Woods, C. R. Chavez +48
A new boron-coated CCD camera is described for direct detection of ultracold neutrons (UCN) through the capture reactions B (n,0)Li (6%) and B(n,1)$^7…
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…
Measurement of the neutron lifetime using an asymmetric magneto- gravitational trap and in situ detection
