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…
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…
Development of Two-Dimensional Neutron Imager with a Sandwich Configuration
Y. Kamiya, R. Nishimura, S. Mitsui +11
We have developed a two-dimensional neutron imager based on a semiconductor pixelated sensor, especially designed for experiments measuring of a spatial and a temporal behavior of…
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…
Characterization of the new Ultracold Neutron beamline at the LANL UCN facility
D. K. -T. Wong, M. T. Hassan, J. F. Burdine +12
The neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment that is currently being developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) will use ultracold neutrons (UCN) and Ramsey's metho…
Ultracold Neutron Properties of the Eljen-299-02D deuterated scintillator
Z. Tang, E. B. Watkins, S. M. Clayton +24
In this paper we report studies of the Fermi potential and loss per bounce of ultracold neutron (UCN) on a deuterated scintillator (Eljen-299-02D). These UCN properties of the scin…
New high-sensitivity searches for neutrons converting into antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons at the European Spallation Source
A. Addazi, K. Anderson, S. Ansell +92
The violation of Baryon Number, , is an essential ingredient for the preferential creation of matter over antimatter needed to account for the observed baryon asymmetr…

A cryogenic apparatus is described that enables a new experiment, nEDM@SNS, with a major improvement in sensitivity compared to the existing limit in the search for a neutron Elect…
A boron-coated CCD camera for direct detection of Ultracold Neutrons (UCN)
K. Kuk, C. Cude-Woods, C. R. Chavez +48
A new boron-coated CCD camera is described for direct detection of ultracold neutrons (UCN) through the capture reactions B (n,0)Li (6%) and B(n,1)$^7…
Cavallo's Multiplier for in situ Generation of High Voltage
Steven M. Clayton, Takeyasu M. Ito, John C. Ramsey +4
A classic electrostatic induction machine, Cavallo's multiplier, is suggested for in situ production of very high voltage in cryogenic environments. The device is suitable for gene…
Evaluation of commercial nickel-phosphorus coating for ultracold neutron guides using a pinhole bottling method
