Ultracold Neutron Properties of the Eljen-299-02D deuterated scintillator

Z. Tang, E. B. Watkins, S. M. Clayton +24

In this paper we report studies of the Fermi potential and loss per bounce of ultracold neutron (UCN) on a deuterated scintillator (Eljen-299-02D). These UCN properties of the scin…

Search for the Neutron Decay n X+ where X is a dark matter particle

Z. Tang, M. Blatnik, L. J. Broussard +21

In a recent paper submitted to Physical Review Letters, Fornal and Grinstein have suggested that the discrepancy between two different methods of neutron lifetime measurements, the…

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…

The Upscattering of Ultracold Neutrons from the polymer

E. I. Sharapov, C. L. Morris, M. Makela +28

It is generally accepted that the main cause of ultracold neutron (UCN) losses in storage traps is the upscattering to the thermal energy range by hydrogen adsorbed on the surface…

Measurements of ultracold neutron upscattering and absorption in polyethylene and vanadium

E. I. Sharapov, C. L. Morris, M. Makela +27

The study of neutron cross sections for elements used as efficient ``absorbers'' of ultracold neutrons (UCN) is crucial for many precision experiments in nuclear and particle physi…
