SPECT: A spin-flip loaded magnetic ultracold neutron trap for a determination of the neutron lifetime
J. Auler, M. Engler, K. Franz +13
The confinement of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in a three dimensional magnetic field gradient trap allows for a measurement of the free neutron lifetime with superior control over sp…
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in the PTOLEMY project: a theory update
PTOLEMY Collaboration, A. Apponi, M. G. Betti +58
We discuss the consequences of the quantum uncertainty on the spectrum of the electron emitted by the -processes of a tritium atom bound to a graphene sheet. We analyze quantita…
Implementation and Optimization of the PTOLEMY Transverse Drift Electromagnetic Filter
A. Apponi, M. G. Betti, M. Borghesi +53
The PTOLEMY transverse drift filter is a new concept to enable precision analysis of the energy spectrum of electrons near the tritium beta-decay endpoint. This paper details the i…
A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint
M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…
