Neutron velocity distribution from a superthermal solid 2 H 2 ultracold neutron source
We have determined for the first time the velocity distribution of neutrons from a solid H2 ultracold neutron (UCN) source. The spectrum rises sharply above 4.5m/s and has a maximum around 7m/s after transport in an 8m long guide. The number of neutrons in the UCN velocity range (< 7m/s) may be increased by a factor of two by placing the experiment 1m above the UCN source level. PACS. 29.25.Dz ...
متن کاملStored Ultracold Neutron Lifetime Experiments: Non-Inertial Frame Effects on the Neutron Velocity Spectrum
Abstract Ultracold neutrons (UCN), stored in a cell with hard walls that is attached to, and therefore rotating with, the Earth, will experience non-inertial frame effects, resulting in a broadening of the UCN spectrum. A heating or cooling of the spectrum is also possible. This is because the stored UCN are in a freely falling (inertial) frame between sudden wall collisions, and the accelerati...
متن کاملMeasurements of ultracold-neutron lifetimes in solid deuterium.
We present the first measurements of the survival time of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in solid deuterium (SD2). This critical parameter provides a fundamental limitation to the effectiveness of superthermal UCN sources that utilize solid ortho-deuterium as the source material. These measurements are performed utilizing a SD2 source coupled to a spallation source of neutrons, providing a demonstra...
متن کاملDesigning an Am-Be miniature neutron source
Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...
متن کاملModulating the Neutron Flux from a Mirror Neutron Source
A 14-MeV neutron source based on a Gas-Dynamic Trap will provide a high flux of 14 MeV neutrons for fusion materials and sub-component testing. In addition to its main goal, the source has potential applications in condensed matter physics and biophysics. In this report, the author considers adding one more capability to the GDT-based neutron source, the modulation of the neutron flux with a de...
