Using Nab to determine correlations in unpolarized neutron decay

L. J. Broussard, S. Baeßler, T. L. Bailey +28

The Nab experiment will measure the ratio of the weak axial-vector and vector coupling constants with precision and search for a Fierz term $b_…

The Nab Experiment: A Precision Measurement of Unpolarized Neutron Beta Decay

J. Fry, R. Alarcon, S. Baessler +69

Neutron beta decay is one of the most fundamental processes in nuclear physics and provides sensitive means to uncover the details of the weak interaction. Neutron beta decay can e…

Monte Carlo Simulations of Trapped Ultracold Neutrons in the UCNτ Experiment

Nathan Callahan, Chen-Yu Liu, Francisco Gonzalez +37

In the UCNτ experiment, ultracold neutrons (UCN) are confined by magnetic fields and the Earth's gravitational field. Field-trapping mitigates the problem of UCN loss on material s…

Measurement of the neutron lifetime using a magneto-gravitational trap

Nathan Callahan

Precision measurements of the free neutron lifetime , when combined with measurements of the axial vector form factor, can be used to test unitarity of the CKM matrix. Non-uni…

Solid deuterium surface degradation at ultracold neutron sources

A. Anghel, T. L. Bailey, G. Bison +27

Solid deuterium (sD_2) is used as an efficient converter to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN). It is known that the sD_2 must be sufficiently cold, of high purity and mostly in its…

Search for dark matter decay of the free neutron from the UCNA experiment: n

X. Sun, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +57

It has been proposed recently that a previously unobserved neutron decay branch to a dark matter particle () could account for the discrepancy in the neutron lifetime observed i…
