Next generation experiments to measure the neutron lifetime : Santa Fe, New Mexico 9-10 November 2012 /
There is a great interest in improving the limits on neutron lifetime to the level of a precision of 0.1 s. The neutron lifetime is both an important fundamental quantity as well as a parameter influencing important processes such as nucleosynthesis (Helium production in the early universe) and the...
