Precision measurement of radiative neutron \b{eta}-decay: methodology and systematic effects
J. S. Nico, R. Alarcon, M. J. Bales +18
In the Standard Model the free neutron decays to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino along with a continuous spectrum of photons. In 2016 the RDK II collaboration reported o…
Environmental Stabilization of Perfect-Crystal Neutron Interferometry Using a Large Vacuum Chamber with Cryogenic Sample Access
Robert Valdillez, David G. Cory, Robert W. Haun +9
Perfect-crystal neutron interferometry has been a useful tool in measuring nuclear-interactions, probing fundamental physics, and exploring quantum phenomenon. Historically, neutro…
Experimental Limit on Neutron Orbital Angular Momentum Detection Using Polarized 3He
D. Sarenac, O. Lailey, D. V. Garrad +11
A recent proposal suggested that neutron orbital angular momentum (OAM) states could be detected via spin-polarized absorption in polarized 3He, with predicted cross-section variat…
Design and Monte Carlo Simulation of a Phase Grating Moiré Neutron Interferometer to Measure the Gravitational Constant
C. Kapahi, D. Sarenac, B. Heacock +5
The gravitational constant (G) is the least precisely known fundamental constant of nature, with persistent and significant discrepancies between measurement methods. New technique…
