A Silicon UCN Detector With Large Area and With Analysis of UCN Polarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
A silicon ultracold neutron (UCN) detector with an area of 45 cm(2) and with a (6)LiF converter is developed at St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI). The spectral efficiency of the silicon UCN detector was measured by means of a gravitational spectrometer at Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin (ILL). The sandwich-type detector from two silicon plates with a (6)LiF converter placed between them was also studied. Using this type of technology the UCN detector with analysis of polarization was developed and tested. The analyzing power of this detector assembly reaches up 75 % for the main part of UCN spectrum. This UCN detector with analysis of UCN polarization can be used in the new electric dipole moment (EDM) spectrometer.

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...

Urocortin is a neuropeptide belonging to the corticotrophin-releasing hormone family and is expressed by eutopic and ectopic human endometrium and the last years is investigated in the field of endometriosis. The objective of this systematic review is to accumulate current evidence related to the expression of urocortin in tissue and blood samples of patients suffering from endometriosis. Liter...
متن کاملSuperconducting UCN Polarizer for a New EDM Spectrometer
A test experiment has shown that the number of ultracold neutrons (UCN) of one polarization state, transmitted through a 100 μm Al foil when placed in a 5 T magnetic field, is greater by 3.8 times. The increased transmission is due to the higher velocity of the UCN passing through the foil.
متن کاملUrocortin in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus acts as an inhibitor of feeding behavior in rats.
Urocortin (UCN), a member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family, inhibits food intake when it is injected intracerebroventricularly in rats. To explore the site of action of UCN in feeding behavior, we examined the effects of injection of UCN into various hypothalamic nuclei on food and water intake in 24-h fasted rats. Injection of UCN into the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (V...
متن کاملUrocortin in the lateral septal area modulates feeding induced by orexin A in the lateral hypothalamus.
The intermediate portion of the lateral septum (LSi) contains high levels of urocortin (UCN) peptide and type 2 corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor (CRHR2) and has anatomic and functional connections with the lateral hypothalamus (LH). We tested the effect of UCN in the LSi on feeding. Injection of 10 or 30 pmol UCN into LSi significantly decreased feeding in food-deprived rats for 2...
