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 e…

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\…

The Nab Experiment: A Precision Measurement of Unpolarized Neutron Beta Decay

J. Fry, R. Alarcon, S. Baessler +69

Neutron beta decay is one of the most fundamental processes in nuclear physics and provides sensitive means to uncover the details of the weak interaction. Neutron beta decay can e…

Solid deuterium surface degradation at ultracold neutron sources

A. Anghel, T. L. Bailey, G. Bison +27

Solid deuterium (sD_2) is used as an efficient converter to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN). It is known that the sD_2 must be sufficiently cold, of high purity and mostly in its…
