A New Cryogenic Apparatus to Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
M. W. Ahmed, R. Alarcon, A. Aleksandrova +91
A cryogenic apparatus is described that enables a new experiment, nEDM@SNS, with a major improvement in sensitivity compared to the existing limit in the search for a neutron Elect…
A boron-coated CCD camera for direct detection of Ultracold Neutrons (UCN)
K. Kuk, C. Cude-Woods, C. R. Chavez +48
A new boron-coated CCD camera is described for direct detection of ultracold neutrons (UCN) through the capture reactions B (n,0)Li (6%) and B(n,1)$^7…
Cryogenic magnetic coil and superconducting magnetic shield for neutron electric dipole moment searches
S. Slutsky, C. M. Swank, A. Biswas +10
A magnetic coil operated at cryogenic temperatures is used to produce spatial, relative field gradients below 6 ppm/cm, stable for several hours. The apparatus is a prototype of th…
Detection System for Neutron Decay Correlations in the UCNB and Nab experiments
L. J. Broussard, B. A. Zeck, E. R. Adamek +51
We describe a detection system designed for precise measurements of angular correlations in neutron decay. The system is based on thick, large area, highly segmented silicon de…
A prototype vector magnetic field monitoring system for a neutron electric dipole moment experiment
N. Nouri, A. Biswas, M. A. Brown +6
We present results from a first demonstration of a magnetic field monitoring system for a neutron electric dipole moment experiment. The system is designed to reconstruct the vecto…
Overlap Technique for End-Cap Seals on Cylindrical Magnetic Shields
S. Malkowski, R. Y. Adhikari, J. Boissevain +6
We present results from studies of the effectiveness of an overlap technique for forming a magnetic seal across a gap at the boundary between a cylindrical magnetic shield and an e…
Comparison of magnetic field uniformities for discretized and finite-sized standard , solenoidal, and spherical coils
N. Nouri, B. Plaster
A significant challenge for experiments requiring a highly uniform magnetic field concerns the identification and design of a discretized and finite-sized magnetic field coil of mi…
A Multiwire Proportional Chamber for Precision Studies of Neutron Beta Decay Angular Correlations
T. M. Ito, R. Carr, B. W. Filippone +4
A new multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) was designed and constructed for precision studies of neutron beta decay angular correlations. Its design has several novel features, in…
