Abstract

Marginally trapped neutrons are a major source of systematic errors in storage experiments with ultracold neutrons (UCN): their energies slightly exceed the trapping potential and their storage lifetimes are of the same order of magnitude as the neutron beta-decay lifetime to be measured. Hence, they have to be removed before the actual neutron storage period starts. For the magneto-gravitational neutron-lifetime experiment PENeLOPE, a novel absorber scheme was proposed; its efficiency to reduce the systematic influence of marginally trapped UCN on the extracted beta-decay lifetime value had to be investigated. To this end, the cryogenic material-storage experiment AbEx (Ab sorber Ex periment) was conducted at ILL, Grenoble; neutron-optical properties of storage and absorption materials were investigated. Storage lifetimes shorter than 10s could be reached for high-energy UCN with the proposed scheme. This translates to a systematic effect on the neutron-lifetime measurement with PENeLOPE of Delta tau(n) < 0.03 s. Polyethylene (PE) and titanium were tested is absorber materials. The temperature dependence of their UCN absorbing efficiency was determined to be rather small and connected not with the upscattering cross-section, but probably with surface contaminations.

Ultra-cold long-range Rydberg-ground molecules

Bai Su-Ying, Bai Jing-Xu, Han Xiao-Xuan, Jiao Yue-Chun, Zhao Jian-Ming

Summary: This paper reviews the recent theoretical and experimental investigations of ultra-cold long-range Rydberg-ground molecules, highlighting their unique properties, formation mechanisms, and potential applications in strongly correlated many-body gases, quantum information processing, and systems with long-distance interactions. Recent research reveals negative permanent electric dipole moments in Cs nD(J)-type Rydberg-ground molecules, signaling a deficiency in Rydberg-electron density near ground-state perturbers caused by electronic configuration mixing.

Ultrafast dynamics of cold Fermi gas after a local quench

N. V. Gnezdilov, A. I. Pavlov, V. Ohanesjan, Y. Cheipesh, K. Schalm

Summary: We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of cold Fermi gas in two initially independent reservoirs A and B, which are coupled and decoupled by two consecutive quantum quenches. We find that the von Neumann entropy production induced by the quench is faster than thermal transport between the reservoirs and determines the short-time dynamics of the system. The energy change in the system, including the heat transfer between A and B and the work done by the quench, is analyzed. When A and B interact for a short time, an energy increase is observed in both reservoirs upon decoupling, and this energy gain is independent of the initial temperature difference between the reservoirs. We attribute the quench's work to the mutual correlations of A and B expressed through their von Neumann entropies. By considering this relation, we demonstrate that once A and B become coupled, their entropies grow faster (on the timescale of the Fermi time) than the heat flow within the system. This result offers insights into the generation of quantum correlations at finite temperatures, which can be probed in ultracold atoms with a characteristic timescale of correlation growth of -0.1 ms.

Effect of Nanodiamond Sizes on the Efficiency of the Quasi-Specular Reflection of Cold Neutrons

Alexei Bosak, Marc Dubois, Ekaterina Korobkina, Egor Lychagin, Alexei Muzychka, Grigory Nekhaev, Valery Nesvizhevsky, Alexander Nezvanov, Thomas Saerbeck, Ralf Schweins, Alexander Strelkov, Kylyshbek Turlybekuly, Kirill Zhernenkov

Summary: In this study, we investigated the quasi-specular reflections (QSRs) and reflections of cold neutrons (CNs) and very cold neutrons (VCNs) from nanodiamond (ND) powders. We found that fluorinated ND increased its efficiency and appropriate ND sizes increased the probability of diffuse reflection of VCNs. Our experimental results on the QSRs of CNs from different sized NDs provide important insights for optimizing the parameters of NDs in practical applications.

Summary: In this study, we updated the analysis of τ lepton decays into a light charged lepton and a vector meson using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider. No significant excess of signal events was observed, and thus upper limits were set on the τ -> lV(0) branching fractions at the 90% credibility level, ranging from (1.7- 4.3) x 10(-8). These limits show an average improvement of 30% compared to previous results.

Summary: This study presents the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, which is a precision test of electron-muon universality. The results obtained using data collected by the Belle II detector show that the measured ratio is in agreement with the standard-model expectation, making it the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind.

Summary: We present a study of the decays A+c -pK0SK0S and A+c -pK0St7 and measure their branching fractions relative to A+c -pK0S. The absolute branching fractions are also calculated by combining with the world average. The mode A+c -pK0 SK0S is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of > 10 sigma, and the branching fraction of A+c -pK0St7 is found to be consistent with the world average with improved precision.

Summary: We report the first observation of the Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)mu(+)nu(mu) decay and measure the branching fraction ratios of the Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)l(+)nu(l) decays in comparison with the reference mode Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)pi(+), (l = e or mu). Using data samples collected at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider, we extract the Omega(0)(c) signal yields and measure the branching fraction ratios to be 1.98 +/- 0.13(stat) +/- 0.08(syst) and 1.94 +/- 0.18(stat) +/- 0.10(syst) for Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)e(+)nu(e) and Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)mu(+)nu(mu), respectively. The ratio of B(Omega(0)(c) -> Omega(-)e(+)nu(e))/B(Omega c0 -> Omega(-)mu(+)nu(mu)) is measured to be 1.02 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.02(syst), which is consistent with lepton flavor universality.

Reduction of light output of plastic scintillator tiles during irradiation at cold temperatures and in low-oxygen environments

B. Kronheim, A. Belloni, T. K. Edberg, S. C. Eno, C. Howe, C. Palmer, C. Papageorgakis, M. Paranjpe, S. Sriram

Summary: This paper presents measurements of the relative decrease of light output during irradiation of small plastic scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers. The study found substantial temporary damage during low-temperature irradiation, regardless of oxygen concentration and wrapping material. The wrapping material had an impact on the relative light loss, with the 3M(TM) Enhanced Specular Reflector Film showing the largest loss. The light loss was less at warmer temperatures and similar to that in standard atmosphere with 3% oxygen concentration. Evidence of a plateau in the radical density was seen for the data at 0 degrees C.
