A Superconducting Magnet UCN Trap for Precise Neutron Lifetime Measurements
Finite-element methods along with Monte Carlo simulations were used to design a magnetic storage device for ultracold neutrons (UCN) to measure their lifetime. A setup was determined which should make it possible to confine UCN with negligible losses and detect the protons emerging from β-decay with high efficiency: stacked superconducting solenoids create the magnetic storage field, an electro...
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 کاملLifetime measurements for neutron-rich nuclei around
Nowadays it has became clear that the magic numbers are not immutable and they can change as a function of the isospin, due to the influence of the residual interaction between valence orbitals [1]. Such a structural change in neutron-rich nuclei is verified in the appearance of the N = 32 subshell closure in nuclei located just above the doublymagic Ca and this can be inferred by different exp...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Neutron Lifetime Using a Gravitational Trap and a Low-Temperature Fomblin Coating
We present a new value for the neutron lifetime of 878.5 ± 0.7stat. ± 0.3syst. This result differs from the world average value by 6.5 standard deviations and by 5.6 standard deviations from the previous most precise result. However, this new value for the neutron lifetime together with a β-asymmetry in neutron decay, A 0, of -0.1189(7) is in a good agreement with the Standard Model.
متن کاملThe 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...
