Storage of very cold neutrons in a trap with nano-structured walls
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on storage of Very Cold Neutrons (VCN) in a trap with walls containing powder of diamond nanoparticles. The efficient VCN reflection is provided by multiple diffusive elastic scattering of VCN at single nanoparticles in powder. The VCN storage times are sufficiently long for accumulating large density of neutrons with complete VCN energy range of up to a few times 10 eV. Methods for further improvements of VCN storage times are discussed.

Due to the conventional understanding of sintering phenomenon in ceramic materials, considering two words of “cold” and “sintering” together may arise a doubt to a ceramic engineer since the usual sintering process has been accompanied by a heating regime at elevated temperatures. Recently, a new technique called Cold Sintering Process (CSP) has been introduced and developed as an ultra-low tem...

Broomcorn seed (Sorghum vulgare) was used as raw material for bioethanol production. Optimum conditions were obtained from response surface method. Broomcorn seed flour (45 g/l) was treated by alkaline treatment and dual enzymatic hydrolysis (0.7 g/l of α- amylase and 0.42 g/l of amyloglucosidase). The hydrolyzed total sugar of 25.5 g/L was used in conventional bioethanol production (8.1 g/l) u...

متن کاملProgress Towards A Permanent Octupole Magnetic Ultra-Cold Neutron Trap for Lifetime Measurements
Current knowledge of the neutron β-decay lifetime has come under scrutiny as of late due to large disagreements between recent precise measurements. Measurements using magnetically trapped Ultra-Cold Neutrons (UCNs) offer the possibility of storage without spurious losses which can provide a reliable value for the neutron lifetime. The progress towards realizing a neutron lifetime measurement u...
