Geometric Optimization of a Neutron Detector for In-Flight Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime

A. W. Nelsen, E. G. Ballantyne, R. E. Calvert +4

The recent measurement of the lifetime of the free neutron using the beam method has an 8.7 s (4) discrepancy with UCN measurements. The goal of the BL3 experiment is to improve…

Monte Carlo calculation and verification of the geometrical factors for the NPDGamma experiment

Kyle B. Grammer, David Blyth, James D. Bowman +5

The NPDGamma experiment measures the parity-violating asymmetry in -ray emission in the capture of polarized neutrons on liquid parahydrogen. The sensitivity to the asymmetry fo…
