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…

Measurement of the Free Neutron Lifetime in a Magneto-Gravitational Trap with In Situ Detection

R. Musedinovic, L. S. Blokland, C. B. Cude-Woods +32

Here we publish three years of data for the UCNtau experiment performed at the Los Alamos Ultra Cold Neutron Facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. These data are in ad…

An experimental search for an explanation of the difference between beam and bottle neutron lifetime measurements

M. F. Blatnik, L. S. Blokland, N. Callahan +32

The past two decades have yielded several new measurements and reanalysis of older measurements of the neutron lifetime. These have led to a 4.4 standard deviation discrepancy betw…

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…

Fundamental Neutron Physics: a White Paper on Progress and Prospects in the US

R. Alarcon, A. Aleksandrova, S. Baeßler +88

Fundamental neutron physics, combining precision measurements and theory, probes particle physics at short range with reach well beyond the highest energies probed by the LHC. Sign…
