Development and extension of a monochromatic neutron beamline for neutron polarimetry device characterization at the Spallation Neutron Source
Kavish Imam, Vince Cianciolo, Brad Filippone +8
The precise manipulation and analysis of neutron spin states are foundational for a wide range of physics experiments, from fundamental symmetry tests to materials science. To enab…
A gaseous-helium cooling system for silicon detectors in the Nab experiment
Love Richburg, Noah Birge, Nadia Fomin +40
The Nab experiment aims to extract the neutron beta decay correlation coefficients 'a' and 'b'. This will be accomplished using a 7 m tall electromagnetic spectrometer which measur…
Detection of molecular hydrogen in a neutron beam lifetime experiment
J. Caylor, R. Biswas, B. Crawford +10
One method of determining the free neutron lifetime involves the absolute counting of neutrons and trapped decay protons. In such experiments, a cold neutron beam traverses a segme…
First Full Dalitz Plot Measurement in Neutron -Decay using the Nab Spectrometer and Implications for New Physics
Francisco M. Gonzalez, Jin Ha Choi, Himal Acharya +89
Precision measurements of observables in neutron -decay are used to test the Standard Model description of the weak interaction and search for evidence of new physics. The Nab…
