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…

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…

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…

Measurement of the neutron lifetime using an asymmetric magneto- gravitational trap and in situ detection

R. W. Pattie, N. B. Callahan, C. Cude-Woods +35

The precise value of the mean neutron lifetime, , plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. It is a key input for predicting the ratio of protons…

A new method for measuring the neutron lifetime using an in situ neutron detector

C. L. Morris, E. R. Adamek, L. J. Broussard +28

The neutron lifetime is important in understanding the production of light nuclei in the first minutes after the big bang and it provides basic information on the charged weak curr…

Measurement of spin-flip probabilities for ultracold neutrons interacting with nickel phosphorus coated surfaces

Z. Tang, E. R. Adamek, A. Brandt +12

We report a measurement of the spin-flip probabilities for ultracold neutrons interacting with surfaces coated with nickel phosphorus. For 50~m thick nickel phosphorus coated on…
