The Spallation Target for the Ultra Cold Neutron Source Ucn
A source of ultra cold neutrons, based on the spallation process is under construction at PSI. With the help of a fast kicker the whole ~1 MW proton beam (590 MeV, 2 mA) from the accelerator will be switched onto the UCN spallation target for approximately 8 seconds every 15 minutes. The spallation neutrons are thermalized in a large heavywater moderator at room temperature and further cooled i...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of Laser-Pumped Cs-Magnetometers for the Planned UCN EDM Experiment at PSI
We designed laser-pumped cesium vapor magnetometers in the M x configuration for the control and stabilization of magnetic field fluctuations and gradients in a new experiment searching for a permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron. The intrinsic sensitivity of the device was determined to be 30 fT in a measurement bandwidth of 1 Hz, limited by laser noise. In the shot noise limit the m...
متن کاملچشمههای نوترون فوق‌سرد: آهنگ تولید نوترون فوق‌سرد در مبدل دوتریم
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...
متن کاملPrompt Upsilon and Psi Production at LEP
Color-octet contributions to quarkonia production at LEP are studied herein. The short distance formation of heavy quark-antiquark pairs in color-octet configurations via gluon fragmentation processes is significantly enhanced relative to the creation of colorsinglet pairs via heavy quark fragmentation. But the subsequent long distance hadronization of these colored pairs into physical quarkoni...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), currently under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with an anticipated start-up in early 2006, will provide the most intense pulsed beams of cold neutrons in the world. At a projected power of 1.4 MW, the time averaged fluxes and fluences of the SNS will approach those of high flux reactors. One of the flight paths on the cold, coupled moderator w...
