First measurement of the neutron β asymmetry with ultracold neutrons (2009)
Anaya, J., Back, H. O., Boissevain, J. G., Bowles, T. J., Broussard, L. J., ...
We report the first measurement of an angular correlation parameter in neutron β decay using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN). We utilize UCN with energies below about 200 neV, which we guide and...
Amarillo National Resource Center for Plutonium (2007)
Higher Education Consortium, Angela L. Woods, R. R. Hart, M. Saglam, M. Saglam, ...
The storage of Weapons Grade Plutonium (WGPu) pits has prompted this study of the effects of alpha irradiation on stainless steel. Energetic alpha particles emitted from the decay of plutonium...
Production of UCN by Downscattering in superfluid He4 (2002)
Korobkina, E., Golub, R., Wehring, B. W., Young, A. R.
Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) are neutrons with energies so low they can be stored in material bottles and magnetic traps. They have been used to provide the currently most accurate experiments on the...
Response Matrix for a Multisphere Spectrometer using a 6LiF Thermoluminescence Dosemeter (1999)
Vega Carrillo, H.R., Wehring, B.W., Veinot, K.G., Hertel, N.E.
Using the Monte Carlo code MCNP4A, a response matrix for a multisphere spectrometer using a TLD-600 as thermal neutron detector, has been calculated for bare detector and 2, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 inch...
