FINESSE: A Versatile Beamline for Fundamental Interactions with Neutrons at the European Spallation SourcE
J. Amaral, J. Barrow, M. Bartis +71
FINESSE (A Versatile Beamline for \textbf{F}undamental \textbf{I}nteractions with \textbf{N}eutrons at the \textbf{E}uropean \textbf{S}pallation \textbf{S}ourc\textbf{E}) is a prop…
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 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)…
Storage of ultracold neutrons in the UCN magneto-gravitational trap
D. J. Salvat, E. R. Adamek, D. Barlow +29
The UCN experiment is designed to measure the lifetime of the free neutron by trapping ultracold neutrons (UCN) in a magneto-gravitational trap. An asymmetric bowl-shape…
