-nuclear-recoil correlation from He decay in a laser trap

P. Müller, Y. Bagdasarova, R. Hong +13

We report the first precise measurement of a -recoil correlation from a radioactive noble gas () confined via a magneto-optical trap. The measurement is motivated by…

Improved limits on Fierz Interference using asymmetry measurements from the UCNA experiment

Xuan Sun, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +56

The Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry (UCNA) experiment was designed to measure the -decay asymmetry parameter, , for free neutron decay. In the experiment, polarized ultracold n…

Final results for the neutron -asymmetry parameter from the UCNA experiment

B. Plaster, E. Adamek, B. Allgeier +91

The UCNA experiment was designed to measure the neutron -asymmetry parameter using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN). UCN produced via downscattering in solid deuterium w…

First direct constraints on Fierz interference in free neutron decay

K. P. Hickerson, X. Sun, Y. Bagdasarova +40

Precision measurements of free neutron -decay have been used to precisely constrain our understanding of the weak interaction. However the neutron Fierz interference term ,…

Charge-state distribution of Li ions from the decay of laser-trapped He atoms

Ran Hong, Arnaud Leredde, Yelena Bagdasarova +12

Background: The accurate determination of atomic final states following nuclear decay plays an important role in many experiments. In particular, the charge state distributions…

Weak Interaction Studies with 6He

A. Knecht, Z. T. Alexander, Y. Bagdasarova +17

The 6He nucleus is an ideal candidate to study the weak interaction. To this end we have built a high-intensity source of 6He delivering ~10^10 atoms/s to experiments. Taking full…

From x-ray telescopes to neutron scattering: using axisymmetric mirrors to focus a neutron beam

B. Khaykovich, M. V. Gubarev, Y. Bagdasarova +2

We demonstrate neutron beam focusing by axisymmetric mirror systems based on a pair of mirrors consisting of a confocal ellipsoid and hyperboloid. Such a system, known as a Wolter…
