Some Thoughts Concerning the Statistics and Ultracold Neutron Source Requirements for the UCNτ Experiment
Abstract
Some general considerations concerning the necessary number of measured de- cays to reach a target precision of roughly 10-3 for a UCN storage neutron lifetime experiment are presented. In the context of the UCNτ experiment, a brief summary of UCN sources available at present and those expected to be operational are also tabulated, together with a "lumped-element" analysis of the target transport properties of the guide system used to load the experiment.
