High voltage and electrode system for a cryogenic experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment
M. A. Blatnik, S. M. Clayton, S. A. Currie +16
The cryogenic approach to the search for the neutron electric dipole moment--performing the experiment in superfluid liquid helium--holds promise for a substantial increase in sens…
Fundamental Nuclear and Particle Physics At Neutron Sources
H. Abele, J. Amaral, W. R. Anthony +121
Fundamental neutron and neutrino physics at neutron sources, combining precision measurements and theory, can probe new physics at energy scales well beyond the highest energies pr…
Measurement of the Free Neutron Lifetime in a Magneto-Gravitational Trap with In Situ Detection
R. Musedinovic, L. S. Blokland, C. B. Cude-Woods +32
Here we publish three years of data for the UCNtau experiment performed at the Los Alamos Ultra Cold Neutron Facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. These data are in ad…
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…

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\…
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…
