FINESSE: A Versatile Beamline for Fundamental Interactions with Neutrons at the European Spallation SourcE
J. Amaral, J. Barrow, M. Bartis +71
FINESSE (A Versatile Beamline for \textbf{F}undamental \textbf{I}nteractions with \textbf{N}eutrons at the \textbf{E}uropean \textbf{S}pallation \textbf{S}ourc\textbf{E}) is a prop…
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…
A Novel Silicon Photomultiplier Readout Architecture for Low-light Applications
V. Cianciolo, Yu. V. Efremenko, L. Fabris +3
In this article we describe the photon detection readout electronics for the nEDM@SNS experiment. The chosen "photon counting" architecture, which utilizes high-efficiency silicon…
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…
Cavallo's Multiplier for in situ Generation of High Voltage
Steven M. Clayton, Takeyasu M. Ito, John C. Ramsey +4
A classic electrostatic induction machine, Cavallo's multiplier, is suggested for in situ production of very high voltage in cryogenic environments. The device is suitable for gene…
Evaluation of commercial nickel-phosphorus coating for ultracold neutron guides using a pinhole bottling method
R. W. Pattie, E. Adamek, T. Brenner +24
We report on the evaluation of commercial electroless nickel phosphorus (NiP) coatings for ultracold neutron (UCN) transport and storage. The material potential of 50~m thick Ni…
Detection System for Neutron Decay Correlations in the UCNB and Nab experiments
L. J. Broussard, B. A. Zeck, E. R. Adamek +51
We describe a detection system designed for precise measurements of angular correlations in neutron decay. The system is based on thick, large area, highly segmented silicon de…
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons
Zhehui Wang, M. A. Hoffbauer, C. L. Morris +33
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is described. The top B layer is exposed to the vacuum chamber and directly captures UCNs. The ZnS:Ag layer benea…
A double-helix neutron detector using micron-size B-10 powder
Zhehui Wang, C. L. Morris, J. D. Bacon +2
A double-helix electrode configuration is combined with a B powder coating technique to build large-area (9 in 36 in) neutron detectors. The neutron detection effic…
