Detection of ultracold neutrons with powdered scintillator screens
M. Krivos, N. C. Floyd, C. L. Morris +24
Zinc sulfide (ZnS:Ag) scintillators coated with a thin 10B layer are widely used for ultracold neutron (UCN) detection, but their application is limited by long decay times and sig…
Novel Application of Neutrinos to Evaluate U.S. Nuclear Weapons Performance
J. R. Distel, E. C. Dunton, J. M. Durham +10
There is a growing realization that neutrinos can be used as a diagnostic tool to better understand the inner workings of a nuclear weapon. Robust estimates demonstrate that an Inv…
YAP:Ce scintillator as an absolute ultracold neutron detector
M. Krivoš, Z. Tang, N. Floyd +14
The upcoming UCNProBe experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory will measure the -decay rate of free neutrons with different systematic uncertainties than previous beam-based…
Scintillation characteristics of the EJ-299-02H scintillator
N. Floyd, Md. T. Hassan, Z. Tang +15
A study of the dead layer thickness and quenching factor of a plastic scintillator for use in ultracold neutron (UCN) experiments is described. Alpha spectroscopy was used to deter…
Demonstration of Sub-micron UCN Position Resolution using Room-temperature CMOS Sensor
S. Lin, J. K. Baldwin, M. Blatnik +25
High spatial resolution of ultracold neutron (UCN) measurement is of growing interest to UCN experiments such as UCN spectrometers, UCN polarimeters, quantum physics of UCNs, and q…
Construction and On-site Performance of the LHAASO WFCTA Camera
F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu +246
The focal plane camera is the core component of the Wide Field-of-view Cherenkov/fluorescence Telescope Array (WFCTA) of the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Be…
