We report on a comparison of spin relaxation rates in a $^{199}$Hg magnetometer using different wall coatings. A compact mercury magnetometer was built for this purpose. Glass cells coated with fluorinated materials show longer spin coherence times than if coated with their hydrogenated homologues. The longest spin relaxation time of the mercury vapor was measured with a fluorinated paraffin wall coating.

Anti-reflective coatings (ARCs) are used on the vast majority of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to increase power production. However, ARC longevity can vary from less than 1 year to over 15 years depending on coating quality and deployment conditio
ns. A technique that can quantify ARC degradation non-destructively on commercial modules would be useful both for in-field diagnostics and accelerated aging tests. In this paper, we demonstrate that accurate measurements of ARC spectral reflectance can be performed using a modified commercially-available integrating-sphere probe. The measurement is fast, accurate, non-destructive and can be performed outdoors in full-sun conditions. We develop an interferometric model that estimates coating porosity, thickness and fractional area coverage from the measured reflectance spectrum for a uniform single-layer coating. We demonstrate the measurement outdoors on an active PV installation, identify the presence of an ARC and estimate the properties of the coating.
The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time ($T_1$) of lanthanum and aluminum nuclei in a single crystal of lanthanum aluminate doped with neodymium ions is studied to estimate the feasibility of the dynamically polarized lanthanum target applicable to
beam experiments. The application of our interest is the study of fundamental discrete symmetries in the spin optics of epithermal neutrons. This study requires a highly flexible choice of the applied magnetic field for neutron spin control and favors longer $T_1$ under lower magnetic field and at higher temperature. The $T_1$ of $^{139}{rm La}$ and ${}^{27}{rm Al}$ was measured under magnetic fields of $0.5$-$2.5$ T and at temperatures of $0.1$-$1.5$ K and found widely distributed up to 100 h. The result suggests that the $T_1$ can be as long as $T_1 sim$ 1 h at $0.1$ K with a magnetic field of $0.1$ T, which partially fulfills the requirement of the neutron beam experiment. Possible improvements to achieve a longer $T_1$ are discussed.
The Jefferson Lab Q_weak experiment determined the weak charge of the proton by measuring the parity-violating elastic scattering asymmetry of longitudinally polarized electrons from an unpolarized liquid hydrogen target at small momentum transfer. A
custom apparatus was designed for this experiment to meet the technical challenges presented by the smallest and most precise ${vec{e}}$p asymmetry ever measured. Technical milestones were achieved at Jefferson Lab in target power, beam current, beam helicity reversal rate, polarimetry, detected rates, and control of helicity-correlated beam properties. The experiment employed 180 microA of 89% longitudinally polarized electrons whose helicity was reversed 960 times per second. The electrons were accelerated to 1.16 GeV and directed to a beamline with extensive instrumentation to measure helicity-correlated beam properties that can induce false asymmetries. Moller and Compton polarimetry were used to measure the electron beam polarization to better than 1%. The electron beam was incident on a 34.4 cm liquid hydrogen target. After passing through a triple collimator system, scattered electrons between 5.8 degrees and 11.6 degrees were bent in the toroidal magnetic field of a resistive copper-coil magnet. The electrons inside this acceptance were focused onto eight fused silica Cerenkov detectors arrayed symmetrically around the beam axis. A total scattered electron rate of about 7 GHz was incident on the detector array. The detectors were read out in integrating mode by custom-built low-noise pre-amplifiers and 18-bit sampling ADC modules. The momentum transfer Q^2 = 0.025 GeV^2 was determined using dedicated low-current (~100 pA) measurements with a set of drift chambers before (and a set of drift chambers and trigger scintillation counters after) the toroidal magnet.
The performance of the Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSD) after irradiation with neutrons and protons is compromised by the removal of acceptors in the thin layer below the junction responsible for the gain. This effect is tested both with C-V measu
rements of the doping concentration and with measurements of charge collection using charged particles. We find a perfect linear correlation between the bias voltage to deplete the gain layer determined with C-V and the bias voltage to collect a defined charge, measured with charge collection. An example for the usefulness of this correlation is presented.
During the last decades, neutron beam transportation has been a well-known and established subject for designing proper neutron guides. However, sometimes unusual adaptation or adjustments are required out of original projects and after operation beg
inning of facilities. Inter-center transferring of instrument locations also requires a new approach that is not necessarily described in the literature. Inside these situations, the use of S-shaped guides has not been fully discussed in the literature. From a geometrical analysis, we develop a formalism of construction of a minimal S-shaped guide by only considering the exclusion of the Line-of-Sight. We study this guide model through the wavelength cutoff and the neutron transport efficiency analysis. Here, Monte Carlo simulations using MCSTAS software are applied. By intending to optimize these guide systems, simulations of this study also consider scenarios that have different supermirrors. A formalism to determine wavelength cutoff for unique and variable index guide systems is also developed. Simulation results show a good agreement between theoretical and simulated wavelength cutoff values. In addition, we have found specific configurations that combine efficient neutron transport and lower index values on the convex surfaces of curved guides that form the S-shaped guide.
