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…
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…
Performance of the upgraded ultracold neutron source at Los Alamos National Laboratory and its implication for a possible neutron electric dipole moment experiment
T. M. Ito, E. R. Adamek, N. B. Callahan +23
The ultracold neutron (UCN) source at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), which uses solid deuterium as the UCN converter and is driven by accelerator spallation neutrons, has b…
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…
Storage of ultracold neutrons in the UCN magneto-gravitational trap
D. J. Salvat, E. R. Adamek, D. Barlow +29
The UCN experiment is designed to measure the lifetime of the free neutron by trapping ultracold neutrons (UCN) in a magneto-gravitational trap. An asymmetric bowl-shape…
