A gaseous-helium cooling system for silicon detectors in the Nab experiment
Love Richburg, Noah Birge, Nadia Fomin +40
The Nab experiment aims to extract the neutron beta decay correlation coefficients 'a' and 'b'. This will be accomplished using a 7 m tall electromagnetic spectrometer which measur…
From Commissioning to Precision Data-Taking: Resolving Operational Challenges in the Nab Detector Systems
L. J. Broussard, H. Acharya, R. Alarcon +36
Our understanding of the weak mixing of quarks, described by the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) matrix, currently presents an anomaly. Thanks to major strides in both theory and e…
Characterization of Low-energy Ionization Signals in Silicon Detectors for the Nab Experiment
R. J. Taylor, August Mendelsohn, Arlee Shelby +20
The Nab (Neutron a b) experiment is designed to measure the beta-antineutrino angular correlation in free neutron decay with an ultimate precision goal of 0.1%, providing input…
A Flexible Data Acquisition System Architecture for the Nab Experiment
D. G. Mathews, H. Acharya, C. B. Crawford +15
The Nab experiment will measure the electron-neutrino correlation and Fierz interference term in free neutron beta decay to test the Standard Model and probe Beyond the Standard Mo…
