Improvements
Mainly performed by the group at PNPI (V. Lobashev et al.): official collaboration agreement with TUM (

N
• higher degree of polarization – triple polarizers:
a
= 0.75 • higher electric field
E
- new material (CERAN):
E
= 10 kV/cm • more neutrons
N
- FRM II + UCN source, more efficient neutron guides • • longer storage time
T
- better coating, better stability of

The PDG feels it has the right to redefine anything it wants 1994: The “centimeters” on the ruler on p. 227 of the booklet Is there a general decline of standards?
a) The booklet were returned from the printer at 0.25 times the speed of light a) A theorist is in charge of the PDG b) The PDG feels it has the right to redefine anything it wants c) There is a general decline of standards d) There was an international conspiracy e) It was a congressionally mandated cost-saving measure f) PDG gives you more cm/inch than anyone else Hartmut Abele, University of Heidelberg
