MAMBO II: neutron lifetime measurement with storage of ultra cold neutrons

Description

Building on the experience that Mampe gained with his ultra-cold neutron (UCN) storage bottle MAMBO I (Phys Rev. Lett. 63 (1989) 593) the successor experiment MAMBO II has been designed and set up. The basic method of this experiment relies on the storage of UCN in a rectangular glass vessel of variable size with walls covered by Fomblin oil. A preliminary value for the lifetime of 881.0±3 s has been measured
