UCN anomalous losses and the UCN capture cross-section on material defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental data shows anomalously large Ultra Cold Neutrons (UCN) reflection losses and that the process of UCN reflection is not completely coherent. UCN anomalous losses under reflection cannot be explained in the context of neutron optics calculations. UCN losses by means of incoherent scattering on material defects are considered and crosssection values calculated. The UCN capture cross-section on material defects is enhanced by a factor of 10 due to localization of UCN around defects. This phenomenon can explain anomalous losses of UCN.

Comment on the article " UCN anomalous losses and the UCN capture cross section on material defects " by A. Serebrov et al. Abstract We present correct solution of the problem about a scattering of the neutron on a point-like defect existing in a medium and show that this mechanism cannot explain anomalous losses of UCN in storage bottles. In a recent article by Serebrov et al. [1], a possible ...
متن کاملInteraction of Ultra-Cold Neutrons with Condensed Matter
General theory of neutron scattering (elastic and inelastic) is presented. It is applicable for the whole domain of slow neutrons and includes as limiting cases existing theories for thermal and cold neutrons and for elastic scattering of UCN. New expression for inelastic scattering cross section for UCN is proposed. It differs from the usually used by proper account of re-scattering processes....

The general theory of neutron scattering is presented, valid for the whole domain of slow neutrons from thermal to ultracold. Particular attention is given to multiple scattering which is the dominant process for ultracold neutrons (UCN). For thermal and cold neutrons, when the multiple scattering in the target can be neglected, the cross section is reduced to the known value. A new expression ...

A new model is presented herein to calculate optimal value for ultra-cold neutron (UCN) production rate of a UCN source. The cold neutron (CN) converter is the main component of UCN source. In this paper, we study the UCN source which contains the D2O neutron moderator, the sD2 converter, 590 Mev proton beam, and the spallation target (a mixture of Pb, D2O and Zr). In order to determine the qua...

A calculation of ultracold neutron ~UCN! upscattering rates in molecular deuterium solids has been carried out, taking into account intramolecular excitations and phonons. The different molecular species ortho-D2 ~with even rotational quantum number J! and para-D2 ~with odd J! exhibit significantly different UCN-phonon annihilation cross sections. Parato ortho-D2 conversion, furthermore, couple...
