Deuterated polyethylene coatings for ultra-cold neutron applications
摘要:
本文报道了氘代聚乙烯(dPE)作为超冷中子(UCN)贮存和运输涂层材料的制备和应用。费米势为214~neV,壁损耗系数$η$为1.3 $\cdot$ × 10 $^4$.涂层技术允许广泛的应用和新的可能性在这个物理领域。特别是,灵活和准无质量的UCN导轨与无狭缝百叶窗和无狭缝UCN存储体积成为可能。这些特性使得在下一代测量中子的电偶极矩的使用。
英文摘要:
We report on the fabrication and use of deuterated polyethylene (dPE) as a coating material for ultra-cold neutron (UCN) storage and transport. The Fermi potential has been determined to be 214~neV and the wall loss coefficient $η$ is 1.3$\cdot$10$^4$ per wall collision. The coating technique allows for a wide range of applications and new possibilities in this field of physics. In particular, flexible and quasi-massless UCN guides with slit-less shutters and slit-less UCN storage volumes become possible. These properties enable the use in next-generation measurements of the electric dipole moment of the neutron.
