YAP:Ce scintillator as an absolute ultracold neutron detector

M. Krivoš, Z. Tang, N. Floyd +14

The upcoming UCNProBe experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory will measure the -decay rate of free neutrons with different systematic uncertainties than previous beam-based…

Scintillation characteristics of the EJ-299-02H scintillator

N. Floyd, Md. T. Hassan, Z. Tang +15

A study of the dead layer thickness and quenching factor of a plastic scintillator for use in ultracold neutron (UCN) experiments is described. Alpha spectroscopy was used to deter…

A next-generation inverse-geometry spallation-driven ultracold neutron source

K. K. H. Leung, G. Muhrer, T. Hügle +7

The physics model of a next-generation spallation-driven high-current ultracold neutron (UCN) source capable of delivering an extracted UCN rate of around an-order-of-magnitude hig…

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…

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 the Neutron Decay n X+ where X is a dark matter particle

Z. Tang, M. Blatnik, L. J. Broussard +21

In a recent paper submitted to Physical Review Letters, Fornal and Grinstein have suggested that the discrepancy between two different methods of neutron lifetime measurements, the…
