Abstract

The efficient transport of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) from their source to the experimental site is a major issue for various kinds of precision experiments. Neutron guides often have to transport the UCN several tens of meters with acceptable losses. In order to qualify the guides, their UCN transmission properties have to be determined with high precision. For this purpose we have developed a novel method. The transmitted UCN were absorbed at the end of the guide in a vanadium disc producing the beta-emitter V-52 (half life 3.74 min). The intensity of the 1434 keV gamma-ray following the P-decay was measured. UCN guides of non-magnetic nickel alloys made by the replication technique were studied. They show a high Fermi pseudopotential V-F for UCN and a low surface roughness. For these guides the transmission per meter was determined with a relative error of +/- 0.6%, resulting in values above 0.95/m. By an absolute calibration of the gamma-ray detection system we also deduced the absolute value of the UCN current absorbed in the vanadium plate. Possible applications of this method are discussed.

Summary: The Workshop on Very Cold and Ultra Cold Neutron Sources for ESS aimed to discuss scientific cases, ideas, and possibilities for implementing sources of Very Cold and Ultra Cold neutrons at the European Spallation Source. The workshop highlighted the potential for in-pile UCN or VCN sources at the ESS facility and the flexibility of neutron beam extraction through the grid of beamports. The discussions focused on the NNBAR experiment and the use of superfluid helium or solid deuterium as neutron converter materials for UCN sources, as well as novel materials and advanced reflectors for VCN production.

BRAND-A detection system for fl-decay correlation measurement

K. Dhanmeher, K. Bodek, J. Choi, L. De Keukeleere, M. Engler, G. Gupta, A. Kozela, K. Lojek, K. Pysz, D. Ries, A. R. Young, D. Rozpedzik, N. Severijns, T. Soldner, N. Yazdandoost, J. Zejma

Summary: The BRAND experiment aims to search for physics beyond the Standard Model by measuring exotic components of the weak interaction through the correlation coefficients of neutron fl-decay. The detection system of BRAND is designed to register charged products of fl-decay of polarized, free neutrons. The measurement of electron and proton four-momenta allows for the determination of the complete kinematics of the decay, including the crucial observable of the electron's transverse spin component for probing exotic components of weak interaction. The preliminary results of the commissioning run, focusing on the performance of individual parts of the detection system, are presented for the small-scale prototype setup at the Laue-Langevin Institute.

Summary: The article presents COMPASS results on the transversity-induced polarization of Λ and Λ over line hyperons produced in SIDIS off transversely polarized protons. Within experimental uncertainties, no significant deviation from zero was observed. The results are discussed in the context of different models taking into account previous experimental results on hu1 and hd1.

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: In this study, we measured the lifetime of the D-s(+) meson using data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. By fitting the decay-time distribution of D-s(+)->phi pi+ decays, we determined that the lifetime of the D-s(+) meson is tau(+)(Ds)=(499.5 +/- 1.7 +/- 0.9) fs, with improved precision compared to previous measurements.

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: This paper reports the first measurement of the Michel parameter ξ0 using a new method. The result obtained from analyzing the data collected by the Belle detector is consistent with the prediction of the standard model. Our study demonstrates the practicality of this method and provides a basis for further precise measurements in future experiments.

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: This study presents measurements of branching fractions for certain Cabibbo-suppressed decays based on data recorded by the Belle experiment. The results provide ratios of branching fractions for various decay modes relative to favored decay modes. The findings are consistent with the current world averages, but more precise in some cases.

This study presents a new design of Anger camera using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), offering better resolution, less distortion, and more compactness. The use of SiPMs also enables the camera to be used in strong magnetic fields, providing additional experimental capabilities.

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.
