Observation of ultracold-neutron production by 9-A cold neutrons in superfluid helium

Journal Article Yoshiki, H ; Sakai, K ; Ogura, M ; ... - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

Using velocity-analyzed cold neutrons we observed the production of ultracold neutrons in superfluid {sup 4}He at 0.45 to 1.5 K. Ultracold neutrons are produced for an incident neutron wavelength of 8.78{plus minus}0.06 A which agrees with the single-phonon emission theory. The temperature variation of the ultracold-neutron storage lifetime is also discussed.

Total cross sections for ultracold neutrons scattered from gases

Journal Article Seestrom, Susan Joyce ; Adamek, Evan R. ; Barlow, Dave ; ... - Physical Review C

Here, we have followed up on our previous measurements of upscattering of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) from a series of gases by making measurements of total cross sections on the following gases hydrogen, ethane, methane, isobutene, n-butane, ethylene, water vapor, propane, neopentane, isopropyl alcohol, and ³He. The values of these cross sections are important for estimating the loss rate of trapped neutrons due to residual gas and are relevant to neutron lifetime measurements using UCNs. The effects of the UCN velocity and path-length distributions were accounted for in the analysis using a Monte Carlo transport code. Results are compared to ourmore »« less

Neutron scattering from superfluid helium at large momentum transfers. [1. 2 K]

Journal Article Martel, P ; Svensson, E C ; Woods, A D.B. ; ... - J. Low Temp. Phys.; (United States)

The inelastic scattering of thermal neutrons from liquid helium at 1.2 K has been measured for wave-vector transfers in the range 6.0 less than or equal to Q less than or equal to 12.0 A/sup -1/. Oscillations in the widths of the scattered-neutron distributions as a function of Q are observed to persist at least up to 12.0 A/sup -1/. A simple physical model suggests that these oscillations, which reflect the presence of final-state interactions and interference effects, have their origin in similar oscillations which occur in the He--He scattering cross section. Detailed measurements at Q = 10.0 A/sup -1/more »« less

Superfluid-Helium Converter for Accumulation and Extraction of Ultracold Neutrons

Journal Article Zimmer, O ; Baumann, K ; Fertl, M ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report the first successful extraction of accumulated ultracold neutrons (UCN) from a converter of superfluid helium, in which they were produced by downscattering neutrons of a cold beam from the Munich research reactor. Windowless UCN extraction is performed in vertical direction through a mechanical cold valve. This prototype of a versatile UCN source is comprised of a novel cryostat designed to keep the source portable and to allow for rapid cooldown. We measured time constants for UCN storage and extraction into a detector at room temperature, with the converter held at various temperatures between 0.7 and 1.3 K. Themore »« less
