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…
A Novel, Steerable, Low-Energy Proton Source for Detector Characterization
Nicholas Macsai, August Mendelsohn, David Harrison +7
We report on the conversion of the Manitoba II mass spectrometer into a versatile low-energy proton beam facility. This infrastructure is adaptable to any detector-under-test (DUT)…
Fundamental Nuclear and Particle Physics At Neutron Sources
H. Abele, J. Amaral, W. R. Anthony +121
Fundamental neutron and neutrino physics at neutron sources, combining precision measurements and theory, can probe new physics at energy scales well beyond the highest energies pr…
