Determination of the Neutron Lifetime Using Magnetically Trapped Neutrons
We report progress on an experiment to measure the neutron lifetime using magnetically trapped neutrons. Neutrons are loaded into a 1.1 T deep superconducting Ioffe-type trap by scattering 0.89 nm neutrons in isotopically pure superfluid (4)He. Neutron decays are detected in real time using the scintillation light produced in the helium by the beta-decay electrons. The measured trap lifetime at...
متن کاملDetermination of the flux of a neutron radioisotope source through gold activation method
Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...
متن کاملOn the Neutron Lifetime and the Weak Coupling Constants
The beta-decay of the neutron, n + p + e+ Ce, either in its free or its bound state, is the most elementary of the semi-leptonic weak hadron decays, and, along with muon decay, is the prime source of experimental information underpinning the V-A description of weak interactions. We review its role in the context of the standard model of particle physics, and discuss the significance of both the...

Determine the lifetime of explosive chemicals is one of the important research fields in recent years. Among the various methods of estimating life expectancy, methods based on solid-state kinetic analysis of the thermal decomposition of a chemical explosive are scientific and the accuracy of the method is confirmed. In this study, the determination of kinetic parameters of Ocfol explosive was ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Neutron Lifetime by Counting Trapped Protons
We measured the neutron decay lifetime by counting in-beam neutron decay recoil protons trapped in a quasi-Penning trap. The absolute neutron beam fluence was measured by capture in a thin (6)LiF foil detector with known efficiency. The combination of these measurements gives the neutron lifetime: τ n = (886.8 ± 1.2 ± 3.2) s, where the first (second) uncertainty is statistical (systematic) in n...
متن کاملEstimation of neutron and gamma dose in the MNSR research reactor
In this study, the neutron and gamma doses in the dry channel and in the internal irradiation site of the Miniature Neutron Source research reactor (MNSR) has been calculated and measured. The MNSR reactor is a light water reactor with a maximum power of 30 kW and equipped with various irradiation facilities, including five irradiated sites, five irradiation sites and a dry channel. The interna...
