35. Electron Cyclotron Resonance Dissociator Demonstrator for the Project 8 Experiment

Manjinder Oueslati (Indiana University Bloomington)

Contributed Oral Presentation

Project 8, a neutrino mass experiment, employs the novel frequency technique of cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) to perform a model independent measurement of neutrino mass via tritium beta decay. Our pioneering experiment will consist of an atomic tritium beamline that dissociates molecular tritium, surface cools atoms with an accommodator, evaporatively cools and slows atoms,...

Contributed Oral Presentation

Electric Propulsion (EP) is a type of space propulsion that can reduce the cost of orbital service. There are different types of electric thruster*, including ECR Electrostatic Thruster (ECRET), which uses ECR to generate plasma. Ions are then accelerated in outer space by electric force to develop the thrust: $T=\dot{m}v$, where $\dot{m}$ and $v$ are the ion flow rate and their exhaust...

26. Revolutionizing Nuclear Physics with Neutrons: Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source Technology and the Neutron Target Facility at LANSCE

Andrew Cooper (Los Alamos National Laboratory)

30/09/2026, 10:10

Contributed Oral Presentation

At the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), we are pursuing the capability to directly measure neutron reaction cross sections on unstable isotopes and improve our predictive modeling abilities for mission science and nuclear astrophysics. A Neutron Target Facility (NTF) will address these nuclear data needs. The NTF will employ a radioactive ion beam storage ring coupled to a thermal...
