Comparative measurements of DC electrical breakdown distributions in liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, and liquid argon
N. S. Phan, S. M. Clayton, R. Gautam +4
We present a comparative study of DC electrical breakdown in liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, and liquid argon using a common cryostat, electrode assembly, voltage-ramp protocol, an…
Demonstration of 255-kV high-voltage generation with a Cavallo multiplier system
S. M. Clayton, T. M. Ito, A. Jacobs +11
Many cryogenic precision measurements require large electric fields in environments where conventional high-voltage feedthroughs are impractical. To address this, we developed a Ca…
Electrode Design for a Cavallo High Voltage Multiplier in a Cryogenic nEDM Experiment
Marie A. Blatnik, Steven M. Clayton, Bradley W. Filippone +4
The Cavallo multiplier [http://archive.org/details/b28771035_0003] is an electrostatic inductance machine that can generate low-noise high voltages electrically isolated from its v…
High voltage and electrode system for a cryogenic experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment
M. A. Blatnik, S. M. Clayton, S. A. Currie +16
The cryogenic approach to the search for the neutron electric dipole moment--performing the experiment in superfluid liquid helium--holds promise for a substantial increase in sens…
Measurement of the Free Neutron Lifetime in a Magneto-Gravitational Trap with In Situ Detection
R. Musedinovic, L. S. Blokland, C. B. Cude-Woods +32
Here we publish three years of data for the UCNtau experiment performed at the Los Alamos Ultra Cold Neutron Facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. These data are in ad…
An experimental search for an explanation of the difference between beam and bottle neutron lifetime measurements
M. F. Blatnik, L. S. Blokland, N. Callahan +32
The past two decades have yielded several new measurements and reanalysis of older measurements of the neutron lifetime. These have led to a 4.4 standard deviation discrepancy betw…
YAP:Ce scintillator as an absolute ultracold neutron detector
M. Krivoš, Z. Tang, N. Floyd +14
The upcoming UCNProBe experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory will measure the -decay rate of free neutrons with different systematic uncertainties than previous beam-based…
Scintillation characteristics of the EJ-299-02H scintillator
N. Floyd, Md. T. Hassan, Z. Tang +15
A study of the dead layer thickness and quenching factor of a plastic scintillator for use in ultracold neutron (UCN) experiments is described. Alpha spectroscopy was used to deter…
Core-shell droplets and microcapsules formed through liquid-liquid phase separation of a colloid-polymer mixture
Steven Dang, John Brady, Ryle Rel +3
Microcapsules allow for the controlled containment, transport, and release of cargoes ranging from pharmaceuticals to fragrances. Given the interest from a variety of industries in…
Effect of an electric field on liquid helium scintillation produced by fast electrons
N. S. Phan, V. Cianciolo, S. M. Clayton +11
The dependence on applied electric field ( kV/cm) of the scintillation light produced by fast electrons and particles stopped in liquid helium in the temperature range…
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…
