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…

The Upscattering of Ultracold Neutrons from the polymer
E. I. Sharapov, C. L. Morris, M. Makela +28
It is generally accepted that the main cause of ultracold neutron (UCN) losses in storage traps is the upscattering to the thermal energy range by hydrogen adsorbed on the surface…

Measurements of ultracold neutron upscattering and absorption in polyethylene and vanadium
E. I. Sharapov, C. L. Morris, M. Makela +27
The study of neutron cross sections for elements used as efficient ``absorbers'' of ultracold neutrons (UCN) is crucial for many precision experiments in nuclear and particle physi…
