The n3He experiment constructed on FnPB [Fundamental neutron Physics Beamline-13] probes the PV [parity violating] nuclear force by measuring the statistical distribution of decay protons which result from the interaction of helium-3 nuclei with a beam of cold neutrons. Pulses of neutrons at 60 Hz are generated by the SNS [Spallation Neutron Source] from a 1 GeV proton beam colliding with a liquid Mercury target. Spalled neutrons are then focused into an intense cold neutron beam thru the use of a liquid hydrogen moderator and a neutron guide making the beam an effective tool as a low energy probe of …
