A large-area detector for fundamental neutron science
How long do neutrons live? The answer could change how we think everything from the cosmos to coffee cups. Yet, scientists don’t agree on the neutron longevity. The disagreement is fanned by the limitations of today’s instruments. Now, a highly efficient detector is helping to resolve the puzzle.
