Precision determination of absolute neutron flux
A. T. Yue, E. S. Anderson, M. S. Dewey +5
A technique for establishing the total neutron rate of a highly-collimated monochromatic cold neutron beam was demonstrated using a method of an alpha-gamma counter. The method inv…
Improved Determination of the Neutron Lifetime
A. T. Yue, M. S. Dewey, D. M. Gilliam +5
The most precise determination of the neutron lifetime using the beam method was completed in 2005 and reported a result of $τ_n = (886.3 \pm 1.2 [\textrm{stat}] \pm 3.2 [\textrm{s…
Fast Neutron Detection with 6Li-loaded Liquid Scintillator
B. M. Fisher, J. N. Abdurashitov, K. J. Coakley +7
We report on the development of a fast neutron detector using a liquid scintillator doped with enriched Li-6. The lithium was introduced in the form of an aqueous LiCl micro-emulsi…
Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime by Counting Trapped Protons in a Cold Neutron Beam
J. S. Nico, M. S. Dewey, D. M. Gilliam +9
A measurement of the neutron lifetime performed by the absolute counting of in-beam neutrons and their decay protons has been completed. Protons confined in a quasi-Penning…
Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime Using a Proton Trap
M. S. Dewey, D. M. Gilliam, J. S. Nico +8
We report a new measurement of the neutron decay lifetime by the absolute counting of in-beam neutrons and their decay protons. Protons were confined in a quasi-Penning trap and co…
