The source for ultra-cold neutrons at the FRM II
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) of Technical University Munich (TUM) a new source for ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) with solid deuterium converter is currently under construction. This summary paper shall give an overview project and its current status. Research results concerning preparation, para-to-ortho conversion, radiation effects neutron transport, which have been achieved in last years, are presented their relevance transferability design future UCN at European Spallation Source (ESS) discussed.

A New Solid Deuterium Source of Ultra-Cold Neutrons
In polarized neutron decay, the angular correlation between the neutron spin and the direction of emission of the electron is characterized by the coefficient A. Measuring A involves determining the forward-backward asymmetry of the decay beta with respect to the direction of the neutron polarization. The value of A, when combined with measurements of the neutron lifetime, determines the values...
متن کاملStudies with Ultra-cold and Cold Neutrons
The experimental search for neutron electric dipole moment (EDM-experiment) is considered to be one of the crucial experiments in physics as it should explain the nature of violation in relation to time reversal. In practically every work concerning T-violation, possible effects are estimated basing on normalization to the upper limit of neutron EDM. So far it has been the most sensitive method...
متن کاملThe New German Neutron Source Frm Ii
The new research reactor of the Technische Universität München will provide the German needs of neutrons for the beginning of the next century. High intensities of thermal neutrons are provided by a particular densely packed core of highly enriched uranium and are extracted by 12 beam apertures. The low thermal power of 20 MW allows the positioning of a D2 cold source at a maximum of the therma...
متن کاملA source of ultra-cold neutrons for the gravitational spectrometer ”GRANIT”
We present the status of the development of a dedicated high density ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source dedicated to the gravitational spectrometer GRANIT. The source employs superthermal conversion of cold neutrons to UCN in superfluid helium. Tests have shown that UCN produced inside the liquid can be extracted into vacuum. Furthermore a dedicated neutron selection channel was tested to maintain...
متن کاملProduction of ultra cold neutrons by a doppler shifter with pulsed neutrons at J-PARC
Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) are neutrons whose kinetic energy is around a few hundred nanoelectronvolts. Neutrons with such small kinetic energy can be trapped in a material vessel or magnetic fields. Because of these unique characteristics, UCNs are used for some important experiments of fundamental physics. The Doppler shifter is a device to produce UCN by slowing them down by the reflection on...
