The Puzzle of Neutron Lifetime
In this paper we review the role of the neutron lifetime and discuss the present status of measurements. In view of the large discrepancy observed by the two most precise individual measurements so far we describe the different techniques and point out principle strengths and weaknesses. In particular we discuss the estimation of systematic uncertainties and its correlation to the statistical o...
متن کاملA new method for measuring the neutron lifetime using an in situ neutron detector
In this paper, we describe a new method for measuring surviving neutrons in neutron lifetime measurements using bottled ultracold neutrons (UCN), which provides better characterization of systematic uncertainties and enables higher precision than previous measurement techniques. An active detector that can be lowered into the trap has been used to measure the neutron distribution as a function ...
متن کاملNeutron radioactivity—Lifetime measurements of neutron-unbound states
A new technique to measure the lifetime � of a neutron-radioactive nucleus that decays in-flight via neutron emission is presented and demonstrated utilizing MonteCarlo simulations. The method is based on the production of the neutron-unbound nucleus in a target, which at the same time slows down the produced nucleus and the residual nucleus after (multi-) neutron emission. The spectrum of the ...

متن کاملPrompt Mergers of Neutron Stars with Black Holes
Mergers of neutron stars with black holes have been suggested as candidates for short gamma-ray bursts. They have also been studied for their potential as gravitational wave sources observable with ground-based detectors. For these purposes, it is important to know under what circumstances such a merger could leave an accretion disk or result in a period of stable mass transfer. We show that, c...
