Optimizing neutron moderators for a spallation-driven ultracold-neutron source at TRIUMF

W. Schreyer, C. A. Davis, S. Kawasaki +5

We report on our efforts to optimize the geometry of neutron moderators and converters for the TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) source using MCNP simulations. It will use…

A fast-switching magnet serving a spallation-driven ultracold neutron source

S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +47

A fast-switching, high-repetition-rate magnet and power supply have been developed for and operated at TRIUMF, to deliver a proton beam to the new ultracold neutron (UCN) facility.…

Towards TUCAN's Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment

Wolfgang Schreyer, TUCAN collaboration

The TRIUMF ultracold advanced neutron (TUCAN) collaboration is a transpacific collaboration with the objective to measure the neutron electric dipole moment. We aim for an unpreced…

First ultracold neutrons produced at TRIUMF

S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +50

We installed a source for ultracold neutrons at a new, dedicated spallation target at TRIUMF. The source was originally developed in Japan and uses a superfluid-helium converter co…

Monte Carlo simulations for the optimization and data analysis of experiments with ultracold neutrons

N. J. Ayres, E. Chanel, B. Clement +5

Ultracold neutrons (UCN) with kinetic energies up to 300 neV can be stored in material or magnetic confinements for hundreds of seconds. This makes them a very useful tool for prob…
