A Backscatter-Suppressed Beta Spectrometer for Neutron Decay Studies
We describe a beta electron spectrometer for use in an upcoming experiment that will measure the beta-antineutrino correlation coefficient (a coefficient) in neutron beta decay. Electron energy is measured by a thick plastic scintillator detector. A conical array of plastic scintillator veto detectors is used to suppress events where the electron backscattered. A Monte Carlo simulation of this ...
متن کاملA Backscatter Suppressed Electron Detector for the Measurement of “a”
A new method of measuring the electron-antineutrino angular correlation coefficient, little "a", from neutron decay-to be performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology-will require an electron spectrometer that strongly suppresses backscattered electrons. A prototype consisting of six trapezoidal veto detectors arranged around a plastic scintillator has been tested with an ele...
متن کاملA beta-ray spectrometer for coincidence measurements
An intermediate image beta-ray spectrometer has been constructed utilizing the focusing properties of a Ushaped magnetic field distribution. The construction and performance of the instrument are discussed. A transmission of ten percent has been attained with a resolution of about six percent. A scintillation spectrometer is used in conjunction with the intermediate image spectrometer for the p...
متن کاملThe ACORN multi-agent system
ACORN (Agent-based Community Oriented Routing Network) is a distributed multi-agent architecture for the search, distribution and management of information in networks. ACORN utilizes the concept of ‘information as agent’ together with an application of Stanley Milgram’s Small World Problem (the idea of Six Degrees of Separation) in order to route individual items of information around networks...
متن کاملACORN: a review.
The ACORN system was originally developed as a means of ab initio solution of protein structures when atomic resolution data were available. The first step is to obtain a starting set of phases, which must be at least slightly better than random. These may be calculated from a fragment of the structure, which can be anything from a single metal atom to a complete molecular-replacement model. A ...
