Effects of gravity on the storage of ultracold neutrons

Effects of gravity on the storage of ultracold neutrons
Effects of gravity on the storage of ultracold neutrons
A general phase space approach is used to examine the influence of gravity on the storage of ultracold neutrons. In particular, consideration is given to the effects on the mean free path between wall collisions and also on the extent to which the rate of loss of UCN in wall collisions can still be related to the mean free path. The implications for experiments to determine the neutron beta decay lifetime are discussed.

Abstract

A general phase space approach is used to examine the influence of gravity on the storage of ultracold neutrons. In particular, consideration is given to the effects on the mean free path between wall collisions and also on the extent to which the rate of loss of UCN in wall collisions can still be related to the mean free path. The implications for experiments to determine the neutron beta decay lifetime are discussed.
