Description
The neutron lifetime is a key parameter in nuclear physics and cosmology, yet two world-leading techniques—the “bottle” and “beam” methods—disagree by almost 10 seconds. This talk will survey the experimental strategies, highlight recent advances, and discuss efforts to resolve this long-standing puzzle.
