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 rate of energy production in the Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAiming to create a roadmap of R\u0026amp;D for a next generation neutron lifetime experiment that can be endorsed by the North American neutron community, the focus of the workshop was on experiments using traps that utilize ultracold neutrons and confinement by a combination of magnetic and\/or gravitational interaction in order to avoid systematic uncertainties introduced by neutron interactions with material walls. The papers in this volume summarize the limitations of present experiments, the discussion of new experiments in planning stage, and the discussion of systematic effects that must be addressed to achieve a lifetime measurement at an accuracy of 0.1 second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover image courtesy of Elena Fernández, Los Alamos National Laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seestrom Susan J\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814571660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814571661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Seestrom Susan J","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446716707071,"sku":"9789814571661","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3d8029d-bf55-4e96-a2be-067b05b5f4e2.jpg?v=1777226487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/next-generation-experiments-to-measure-seestrom-susan-j-9789814571661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
