Snow Indiana University/CEEM NANO Workshop ILL beam experiment Improved experiment with horizontal beam: (1) Reactor source,,(2)pulsed source Vertical experiment: DUSEL proposal Thanks for slides and calculations to: Yuri Kamyshkov, Geoff Greene, Hiro Shimizu

Measured limit for a year of running: Discovery potential : N 2 n t sec with L ~ 90 m and t 0.11 sec Measured limit : nn sec measured P nn nn nn sec Bended n-guide Ni coated, L ~ 63m,6x12cm 6 2 H53 n-beam ~ n/s Focusing reflector 33.6 m 58 Magnetically shielded 95 m vacuum tube Flight path 76 m < TOF> ~ s Annihilation target 11m 1.1m E~1.8 GeV 11 ~ n/s Baldo-Ceolin M. et al., Z.

5 Quasifree Condition: B Shielding and Vacuum Bt<<ћ ILL achieved B <10 nt over 1m diameter, 80 m beam,one layer 1mm shield in SS vacuum tank, 1% reduction in oscillation efficiency (Bitter et al, NIM A309, 521 (1991). For new experiment need B <~1 nt If nnbar candidate signal seen, easy to turn it off by increasing B V opt t<<ћ: Need vacuum to eliminate neutron-antineutron ti t optical potential difference. P<10-5 Pa is good enough, much less stringent than LIGO QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture.

7 Better Cold Neutron Experiment (Horizontal beam) need cold neutrons from high flux source, access of neutron focusing reflector to cold source, free flight path of ~ m Improvement on ILL experiment by factor of ~1000 in transition probability is possible (but expensive) with existing n optics technology and sources D ~ 2-3 m L = 300 m
8 concept of neutron supermirrors: Swiss Neutronics neutron reflection at grazing incidence (< 2 smooth supermirror refractive index n < 1 total external reflection e.g. Ni c = 0.1 /Å c 2d sin reflectivity = 5 Å [ ] reflectivity d 3 >dd 2 >d d = 5 Å [ ] reflectivity = 5 Å [ ]
9 Supermirror Neutron Optics: Elliptical Focusing Guides Muhlbauer et. al., Physica B 385, 1247 (2006). Under development for neutron scattering spectrometers Can be used to increase fraction of neutrons delivered from cold source (cold source at one focus, nbar detector at other focus)

13 New Experiment at Existing Research Reactor? need close access to cold source to fully illuminate i elliptical l reflector Requests to all >20 MW research reactors with cold neutron sources Can a reactor be found? Not yet Cutaway view HFIR reactor at ORNL
14 Advantages of a Next-Generation Pulsed Neutron Source (ESS) for A Neutron-Antineutron Oscillation Experiment Possibility to use active neutron optics to partially correct for gravitational defocusing Possibility to optimize the target/moderator system with this experiment in mind, and take advantage of a colder cold source if moderator research is successful. Possibility to upgrade reflector with other developments in y pg p neutron optics (higher m higher reflectivity supermirrors, )
15 At a pulsed neutron source like ESS, neutrons of a given speed reach the mirror at a known time. We can therefore imagine an array of mirrors tiling an ellipse and phased to the source to condition the beam Piezodrivers This tilting can be used to counteract the defocusing of the beam from gravity, thereby reducing the beam/detector size and therefore reduce the cost of the experiment.
16 Nt 2 distribution vs vertical Y in the target plane m=4; x target <1m m. Radius of beam is smaller by~factor of 2 ->cost of experiment is smaller (scales generically as the area)
17 Supermirror Neutron Optics: Future Possibilities In the future one may consider varying the shape of the guides actively by means of piezo actuators. If used at pulsed sources, beam size and therefore the divergence for each wavelength during a neutron pulse can be optimized. This corresponds to a kind dof active phase space transformation at o that will allow the circumvention of Liouville s theorem. The combination of fast mechanical actuators with supermirror technology may become useful for active phase space transformation. P.Boni, NIM A586, 1 (2008). One could design the experiment to be able to take advantage of such advances in active neutron optics technology through modification of the reflector
