The Nab Experiment: A Precision Measurement of Unpolarized Neutron Beta Decay
J. Fry, R. Alarcon, S. Baessler +69
Neutron beta decay is one of the most fundamental processes in nuclear physics and provides sensitive means to uncover the details of the weak interaction. Neutron beta decay can e…
aCORN: an experiment to measure the electron-antineutrino correlation coefficient in free neutron decay
B. Collett, F. Bateman, W. K. Bauder +21
We describe an apparatus used to measure the electron-antineutrino angular correlation coefficient in free neutron decay. The apparatus employs a novel measurement technique in whi…
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…
Neutron Beta Decay Studies with Nab
S. Baeßler, R. Alarcon, L. P. Alonzi +31
Precision measurements in neutron beta decay serve to determine the coupling constants of beta decay and allow for several stringent tests of the standard model. This paper discuss…
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)…
Nab: Measurement Principles, Apparatus and Uncertainties
D. Pocanic, R. Alarcon, L. P. Alonzi +23
The Nab collaboration will perform a precise measurement of 'a', the electron-neutrino correlation parameter, and 'b', the Fierz interference term in neutron beta decay, in the Fun…
