Improved neutron lifetime measurement with UCN

F. M. Gonzalez, E. M. Fries, C. Cude-Woods +41

We report an improved measurement of the free neutron lifetime using the UCN apparatus at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. We counted a total of approximately $38\…

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…

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…

The neutron electric dipole moment experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source

K. K. H. Leung, M. Ahmed, R. Alarcon +90

Novel experimental techniques are required to make the next big leap in neutron electric dipole moment experimental sensitivity, both in terms of statistics and systematic error co…

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…
