Neutron lifetime measured by monitored storing of ultra-cold neutrons

The method of measuring the neutron β-decay lifetime τ β by storage of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) with simultaneous recording of inelastically scattered neutrons is presented. The result of the measurement is τ β [ s]=885.4±0.9 stat ±0.4 syst .
