There is a great interest in improving the limits on neutron
lifetime to the level of a precision of 0.1 s. 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.Aiming to create a roadmap of R&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.Cover image courtesy of
