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…
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…
Detection System for Neutron Decay Correlations in the UCNB and Nab experiments
L. J. Broussard, B. A. Zeck, E. R. Adamek +51
We describe a detection system designed for precise measurements of angular correlations in neutron decay. The system is based on thick, large area, highly segmented silicon de…
Position-sensitive detection of ultracold neutrons with an imaging camera and its implications to spectroscopy
Wanchun Wei, L. J. Broussard, M. A. Hoffbauer +29
Position-sensitive detection of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is demonstrated using an imaging charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. A spatial resolution less than 15 m has been achie…
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons
Zhehui Wang, M. A. Hoffbauer, C. L. Morris +33
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is described. The top B layer is exposed to the vacuum chamber and directly captures UCNs. The ZnS:Ag layer benea…
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…
