Measuring Neutron Beta Decay “A” Parameter Using Ultracold Neutrons
The UCNA experiment is designed to measure the neutron decay beta asymmetry (the “A” parameter) to very high precision (<0.5%), using the ultracold neutron (UCN) source at the Los Alamos National Lab. After a successful commissioning run in 2007, data were taken in 2008 which will lead to a 1% measurement of A. In this talk, I will discuss major improvements we made in 2008, and report the status of data analysis
Global Analysis of Nucleon Strange Form Factors at Low
We perform a global analysis of all recent experimental data from elastic
parity-violating electron scattering at low . The values of the electric
and magnetic strange form factors of the nucleon are determined at
