Demonstration of 255-kV high-voltage generation with a Cavallo multiplier system

S. M. Clayton, T. M. Ito, A. Jacobs +11

Many cryogenic precision measurements require large electric fields in environments where conventional high-voltage feedthroughs are impractical. To address this, we developed a Ca…

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…

High voltage and electrode system for a cryogenic experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment

M. A. Blatnik, S. M. Clayton, S. A. Currie +16

The cryogenic approach to the search for the neutron electric dipole moment--performing the experiment in superfluid liquid helium--holds promise for a substantial increase in sens…

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)…
