The TRIUMF Ultra-Cold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration is currently building a next-generation ultra-cold neutron source, with a neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) measurement as the flagship experiment. The nEDM measurement is based on the Ramsey method of separated oscillating fields to measure the precession frequency of the neutron in combined magnetic and electric fields. The...

The study of neutron rich nuclei far from the valley of stability has become an increasingly important field of research within nuclear physics. One of the decay mechanisms that opens when the decay Q value becomes sufficiently large is that of beta-delayed neutron emission. This decay mode is important when studying the astrophysical r-process as it can have a direct effect on theoretical...

The understanding of abundances of elements heavier than iron originating from the $r$-process nucleosynthesis in neutron star mergers and core collapse supernovae requires experimental information from the involved neutron-rich nuclei from close to the neutron-dripline to the line of stability. The $\beta$-delayed neutron emission plays important roles in this process shifting the decay chain...

nEXO is a next generation time projection chamber searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 5 tonnes of liquid xenon enriched in the isotope Xe-136. Interactions within LXe produce anti-correlated scintillation and ionization signals, which will be used to reconstruct the energy, position, and multiplicity of each event. Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have been identified as the...
