Abstract

Specularity, depolarization and loss per bounce data is extracted from measurements of ultracold neutron (UCN) transport and storage in quartz tubes coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC). To extract these parameters, we utilize measurements of the transmission through meter long sections of DLC-coated guide and the depolarization and storage times in DLC-coated bottles. These data are analyzed using detailed simulations of the UCN transport through each of our experimental geometries. Our results indicate that DLC-coated quartz guides have excellent performance, very close to that expected for ideal diamond coatings and more than adequate for planned measurements of the angular correlations in polarized UCN decay.
