Abstract
The past two decades have yielded several new measurements and reanalysis of
older measurements of the neutron lifetime. These have led to a 4.4 standard
deviation discrepancy between the most precise measurements of the neutron
decay rate producing protons in cold neutron beams and the most precise
lifetime measured in neutron storage experiments. Here we publish an analysis
of the recently published UCN aimed a searching for an explanation of this
difference using the model proposed by Koch and Hummel.
