Precision measurement of radiative neutron \b{eta}-decay: methodology and systematic effects

J. S. Nico, R. Alarcon, M. J. Bales +18

In the Standard Model the free neutron decays to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino along with a continuous spectrum of photons. In 2016 the RDK II collaboration reported o…

Precision Measurement of the Radiative Decay of the Free Neutron

M. J. Bales, R. Alarcon, C. D. Bass +15

The standard model predicts that, in addition to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino, a continuous spectrum of photons is emitted in the decay of the free neutron. We re…

Nonextensive statistics in spin precession

Matthew J. Bales, Peter Fierlinger, Robert Golub

Many experiments utilize the precession of trapped particles in magnetic fields to perform high precision measurements. It had been presumed that after free precession, initially p…

Nonproportionality in the scintillation light yield of bismuth germanate

T. R. Gentile, M. J. Bales, H. Breuer +5

We present measurements of nonproportionality in the scintillation light yield of bismuth germanate (BGO) for gamma-rays with energies between 6 keV and 662 keV. The scintillation…

A large-scale magnetic shield with 10^6 damping at mHz frequencies

I. Altarev, M. Bales, D. H. Beck +16

We present a magnetically shielded environment with a damping factor larger than one million at the mHz frequency regime and an extremely low field and gradient over an extended vo…

A gamma- and X-ray detector for cryogenic, high magnetic field applications

R. L. Cooper, R. Alarcon, M. J. Bales +15

As part of an experiment to measure the spectrum of photons emitted in beta-decay of the free neutron, we developed and operated a detector consisting of 12 bismuth germanate (BGO)…
