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…
