Detection of ultracold neutrons with powdered scintillator screens
M. Krivos, N. C. Floyd, C. L. Morris +24
Zinc sulfide (ZnS:Ag) scintillators coated with a thin 10B layer are widely used for ultracold neutron (UCN) detection, but their application is limited by long decay times and sig…
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…
