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…
From Commissioning to Precision Data-Taking: Resolving Operational Challenges in the Nab Detector Systems
L. J. Broussard, H. Acharya, R. Alarcon +36
Our understanding of the weak mixing of quarks, described by the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) matrix, currently presents an anomaly. Thanks to major strides in both theory and e…
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…
