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…
Ultracold Neutron Properties of the Eljen-299-02D deuterated scintillator
Z. Tang, E. B. Watkins, S. M. Clayton +24
In this paper we report studies of the Fermi potential and loss per bounce of ultracold neutron (UCN) on a deuterated scintillator (Eljen-299-02D). These UCN properties of the scin…
A boron-coated CCD camera for direct detection of Ultracold Neutrons (UCN)
K. Kuk, C. Cude-Woods, C. R. Chavez +48
A new boron-coated CCD camera is described for direct detection of ultracold neutrons (UCN) through the capture reactions B (n,0)Li (6%) and B(n,1)$^7…
Monte Carlo Simulations of Trapped Ultracold Neutrons in the UCNτ Experiment
Nathan Callahan, Chen-Yu Liu, Francisco Gonzalez +37
In the UCNτ experiment, ultracold neutrons (UCN) are confined by magnetic fields and the Earth's gravitational field. Field-trapping mitigates the problem of UCN loss on material s…
Evaluation of commercial nickel-phosphorus coating for ultracold neutron guides using a pinhole bottling method
R. W. Pattie, E. Adamek, T. Brenner +24
We report on the evaluation of commercial electroless nickel phosphorus (NiP) coatings for ultracold neutron (UCN) transport and storage. The material potential of 50~m thick Ni…
Detection System for Neutron Decay Correlations in the UCNB and Nab experiments
L. J. Broussard, B. A. Zeck, E. R. Adamek +51
We describe a detection system designed for precise measurements of angular correlations in neutron decay. The system is based on thick, large area, highly segmented silicon de…
Position-sensitive detection of ultracold neutrons with an imaging camera and its implications to spectroscopy
Wanchun Wei, L. J. Broussard, M. A. Hoffbauer +29
Position-sensitive detection of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is demonstrated using an imaging charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. A spatial resolution less than 15 m has been achie…
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons
Zhehui Wang, M. A. Hoffbauer, C. L. Morris +33
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is described. The top B layer is exposed to the vacuum chamber and directly captures UCNs. The ZnS:Ag layer benea…
Radial distribution of charged particles in a magnetic field
S. K. L. Sjue, L. Broussard, M. Makela +3
The radial spread of charged particles emitted from a point source in a magnetic field is a potential source of systematic error for any experiment where magnetic fields guide char…
