Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime by Counting Trapped Protons

We measured the neutron decay lifetime by counting in-beam neutron decay recoil protons trapped in a quasi-Penning trap. The absolute neutron beam fluence was measured by capture in a thin (6)LiF foil detector with known efficiency. The combination of these measurements gives the neutron lifetime: τ...
