A source for ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) with solid deuterium is planned<br />
for the new Munich high-flux neutron source FRM-II. Ultra-cold neutrons<br />
have energies below about 250 neV and may be stored in vessels, magnetic<br />
bottles and by gravity. The new source, Mini-D2, will be installed<br />
in beam tube SR-4 of FRM-II. It consists of a so-called converter, about<br />
170 cm 3 of solid deuterium at a temperature of 5 K, and the storage volume,<br />
an evacuated tube of 6 cm diameter and about 8 m length. The<br />
walls of the storage tube will be coated with Be. The converter is located<br />
inside the storage volume very close to the Cold Source of FRM-II.<br />
From model calculations we may expect that in pulsed mode the source<br />
will produce UCN densities of about 10 4 cm −3 , by far more than the<br />
world’s best sources existing up to now. This enhancement in density<br />
will allow to measure important properties of the free neutron like the<br />
electric dipole moment or the lifetime with strongly improved precision.<br />
The layout of the source and the first experiment planned, the magnetic<br />
confinement of UCN, will be presented.<br />

The new, high-intensity ultracold neutron source at PSI —<br />
•Reinhold Henneck for the SUNS collaboration collaboration — Paul-<br />
Scherrer-Institut, CH-5232 Villigen, Schweiz<br />
The new PSI source for ultracold neutrons (UCN) is based on an intense,<br />
pulsed proton beam with a very low duty cycle, a spallation target<br />
of heavy material which is able to stand the high beam load of 2 mA<br />
for several seconds and a large moderator (30 l) of solid deuterium at<br />
about 6 K. Recent experimental studies have revealed a large gain factor<br />
for the production of UCN in solid deuterium from which one expects<br />
UCN densities in excess of 1000 UCN/cm 3 . This improvement of about<br />
2 orders of magnitude over existing facilities will open new prospects for<br />
studies of fundamental properties of the neutron and its decay. As a<br />
first experiment we intend to improve the sensitivity in the measurement<br />
of the neutron electric dipole moment to about 5 · 10 −28 e·cm. We will<br />
discuss the general principle of this new type of source as well as details<br />
of the most important subsystems which are now being developed: (1)<br />
proton target, (2) heavy water moderator/ reflector, (3) solid deuterium<br />
moderator, (4) storage vessel and neutron guides.<br />

SHIPTRAP is an ion trap facility at the separator for heavy-ion reaction<br />
products (SHIP) at GSI. The scientific programme of the SHIP-<br />
TRAP facility comprises mass spectrometry, nuclear spectroscopy, laser<br />
spectroscopy and chemistry of transeinsteinium elements. The SHIP-<br />
TRAP facility consists of a gas cell for stopping and thermalizing highenergy<br />
recoil ions from SHIP, a rf ion guide for extraction of the ions<br />
from the gas cell, a linear rf trap for accumulation and bunching of the<br />
ions, and a Penning trap for isobaric purification. In first on-line tests<br />
we successfully stopped, accumulated and trapped radioactive nuclides<br />
which were produced in fusion reactions of a 40 Ca primary beam with<br />
a cerium target. The radioactive nuclides were extracted from the ion<br />
trap and identified by time-of-flight detection. The total efficiency for<br />
stopping, accumulating and trapping the ions was about 1 %.<br />

Es wurde ein Halbleiterdetektor für ultrakalte Neutronen (UCN) entwickelt,<br />
der auf einer Silizium PIN-Diode basiert. Zum Nachweis der<br />
Neutronen wird die Reaktion 6 Li(n,α) 3 H in einer auf den Detektor aufgebrachten<br />
Konverterschicht aus 6 LiF verwendet. Um das optische Potential<br />
der Oberfläche für Neutronen zu verringern, wird das 6 LiF mit einem<br />
Material negativer Streulänge in einer Multilayerstruktur kombiniert; die<br />
resultierende Reflektivität für Neutronen wurde für verschiedene Multilayerstrukturen<br />
mit einem Neutronenoptik-Programm berechnet. Der<br />
Energieverlust der Reaktionsprodukte in den verschiedenen Strukturen<br />
wurde mittels eines Monte-Carlo-Programmes simuliert. Drei Strukturen<br />
wurden hergestellt und in zwei verschiedenen Experimenten am Institut<br />
Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, Frankreich, getestet. Die Ergebnisse<br />
werden vorgestellt.<br />

In order to measure the beam emittance of cooled low energetic ion<br />
beams (30 keV) from the Jyväskylä RFQ-ion-cooler, we designed an emittance<br />
meter for very low intensities and low beam energies by SIMION.<br />
We wanted to examine the dependence of the transmission and the emittance<br />
on the beam intensity (20pA-40nA) injected into the cooler device.<br />
In addition the improvement of the beam emittance due to the cooler<br />
has been studied. Finally the effect of different beam optic elements in<br />
the beam line, e. g. ”einzellenses”and skimmer electrodes on the beam<br />
could be easily measured with the emittance meter. The results of the<br />
measurements and the emittance meter lay-out in hard and software will<br />
be presented.<br />

HPGe-Detektors — •D. Weißhaar, J. Eberth, J. Jolie,<br />

Segmentierte HPGe-Detektoren ermöglichen den Aufbau kompakter γ-<br />
Spektrometer mit hoher Granularität wie das MINIBALL- Spektrometer<br />
für Messungen am radioaktiven Strahl. Die Granularität ist notwendig<br />
um die Dopplerverbreiterung von γ-Linien bei Experimenten mit hohem<br />
v/c der γ-emittierenden Kerne zu minimieren. Der 12-fach segmentierte<br />
Detektor entspricht dem 6-fach segmentierten MINIBALL-Detektor<br />
mit einer zusätzlichen Quersegmentierung, die den vorderen Bereich vom<br />
hinteren abtrennt. Der Detektor wurde mit einer kollimierten Quelle<br />
abgetastet und die Verbesserung der Ortssensitivität aufgrund der<br />
zusätzlichen Tiefeninformation im Vergleich zum 6-fach segmentierten<br />
MINIBALL-Detektor untersucht.<br />
