Fundamental neutron and neutrino physics at neutron sources, combining precision measurements and theory, can probe new physics at energy scales well beyond the highest energies pr…
High-Density Ultracold Neutron Source for Low-Energy Particle Physics Experiments
Skyler Degenkolb, Estelle Chanel, Simon Baudoin +20
SuperSUN, a new superthermal source of ultracold neutrons (UCN) at the Institut Laue-Langevin, exploits inelastic scattering of neutrons in isotopically pure superfluid He at t…
Photosensitive materials for neutron optics
Martin Fally, Juergen Klepp, Christian Pruner +6
Photosensitive materials with ever-improving properties are of great importance for optical and photonics applications. Additionally, they are extremely useful for designing compon…
Application of nanodiamond-polymer composite holographic gratings in a very cold neutron interferometer
Sonja Falmbigl, Roxana H. Ackermann, Elhoucine Hadden +6
In recent decades, photosensitive materials have been used for the development of optical devices not only for light, but also for cold and very cold neutrons. We show that hologra…
