Analysis of Multifrequency Oscillating Magnetic Fields by Neutron Spin Interferometry

Ryuto Fujitani, Masahiro Hino, Takashi Higuchi

We have developed a methodology for analyzing multifrequency oscillating magnetic fields using neutron spin interferometry. A theoretical formulation was derived for the contrast a…

Spin Phase Continuous Modulation: A Method for the Measurement of Neutron Monochromaticity

Ryuto Fujitani, Masahiro Hino, Takashi Higuchi

We present spin phase continuous modulation (SPCM), a new method for characterization of neutron beam properties. By utilizing spin-precession modulation induced by two oscillating…

Polarized cold-neutron reflectometry at JRR-3/MINE2 for the development of ultracold-neutron spin analyzers for a neutron EDM experiment at TRIUMF

Takashi Higuchi, Hiroaki Akatsuka, Alexis Brossard +18

The neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) is a sensitive probe for currently undiscovered sources of charge-parity symmetry violation. As part of the TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutr…

Demonstration of Near-Epithermal Neutron Reflective Optics

Takuhiro Fujiie, Ryota Abe, Masahiro Hino +11

Specular reflection of neutrons on material surfaces has been demonstrated in the energy range of 0.09-0.7 eV. The results suggest that the applicable energy range of reflective ne…

A Novel Nuclear Emulsion Detector for Measurement of Quantum States of Ultracold Neutrons in the Earth's Gravitational Field

Naoto Muto, Hartmut Abele, Tomoko Ariga +19

Hypothetical short-range interactions could be detected by measuring the wavefunctions of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) on a mirror bounded by the Earth's gravitational field. The Sear…

A neutron detector with spatial resolution of submicron using fine-grained nuclear emulsion

N. Naganawa, S. Awano, M. Hino +9

We have been developing a neutron detector with spatial resolution of submicron by loading 6Li into fine-grained nuclear emulsion. By exposure to thermal neutrons, tracks from neut…

Measurements of ultracold neutron lifetimes in solid deuterium

C. L. Morris, J. M. Anaya, T. J. Bowles +24

We present the first measurements of the survival time of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in solid deuterium SD2. This critical parameter provides a fundamental limitation to the effecti…
