Stochastic modeling and survival analysis of marginally trapped neutrons for a magnetic trapping neutron lifetime experiment
K. J. Coakley, M. S. Dewey, M. G. Huber +8
In a variety of neutron lifetime experiments, in addition to decay, neutrons can be lost by other mechanisms including wall losses. Failure to account for these other loss mech…
Determination of the Free Neutron Lifetime
J. David Bowman, L. J. Broussard, S. M. Clayton +24
We present the status of current US experimental efforts to measure the lifetime of the free neutron by the "beam" and "bottle" methods. BBN nucleosynthesis models require accurate…
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…
Absence of a self-induced decay effect in 198Au
Richard M. Lindstrom, Ephraim Fischbach, John B. Buncher +2
We report the results of an improved experiment aimed at determining whether the half-life () of Au depends on the shape of the source. In this experiment, the hal…
Study of the dependence of 198Au half-life on source geometry
R. M. Lindstrom, E. Fischbach, J. B. Buncher +5
We report the results of an experiment to determine whether the half-life of \Au{198} depends on the shape of the source. This study was motivated by recent suggestions that nuclea…
