Measuring the Neutron Lifetime Using Magnetically Trapped Neutrons (2009)
O'Shaughnessy, C. M., Golub, R., Schelhammer, K. W., Swank, C. M., Huffman, P. R., ...
The neutron beta-decay lifetime plays an important role both in understanding weak interactions within the framework of the Standard Model and in theoretical predictions of the primordial abundance...
Magnetically Stabilized Luminescent Excitations in Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2001)
Huffman, P. R., Brome, C. R., Butterworth, J. S., Dzhosyuk, S. N., Golub, R., Lamoreaux, S. K., ...
Magnetically stabilized luminescence is observed in hexagonal boron nitride. The luminescence is induced by absorption of cold neutrons and is in the visible region. In the absence of a magnetic...
Magnetic trapping of ultracold neutrons (2001)
Brome, C. R., Butterworth, J. S., Dzhosyuk, S. N., Mattoni, C. E. H., McKinsey, D. N., Doyle, J. M., ...
Three-dimensional magnetic confinement of neutrons is reported. Neutrons are loaded into an Ioffe-type superconducting magnetic trap through inelastic scattering of cold neutrons with 4He. Scattered...
Magnetic Trapping of Neutrons (2000)
Huffman, P. R., Brome, C. R., Butterworth, J. S., Coakley, K. J., Dewey, M. S., Dzhosyuk, S. N., ...
Accurate measurement of the lifetime of the neutron (which is unstable to beta decay) is important for understanding the weak nuclear force and the creation of matter during the Big Bang. Previous...
