Characterization of ultracold neutron production in thin solid deuterium films at the PSI Ultracold Neutron source
G. Bison, B. Blau, W. Chen +13
We determined the ultracold neutron (UCN) production rate by superthermal conversion in the solid deuterium (sD) moderator of the UCN source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI…
UCN, the ultracold neutron source -- neutrons for particle physics
Bernhard Lauss, Bertrand Blau
Ultracold neutrons provide a unique tool for the study of neutron properties. An overview is given of the ultracold neutron (UCN) source at PSI, which produces the highest UCN inte…
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…
A prestorage method to measure neutron transmission of ultracold neutron guides
B. Blau, M. Daum, M. Fertl +8
There are worldwide efforts to search for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Precision experiments using ultracold neutrons (UCN) require very high intensities…
Neutron production and thermal moderation at the PSI UCN source
H. Becker, G. Bison, B. Blau +12
We report on gold foil activation measurements performed along a vertical channel along the tank of the ultracold neutron source at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The activities obta…
