On the neutron lifetime anomaly

General Physics 2021-07-15 v2

Abstract

We suggest that the neutron lifetime anomaly can be resolved by invoking the Casimir effect for trapped ultracold neutrons. Our proposal can be checked experimentally by precise lifetime measurements of trapped ultracold neutrons with different trapping volumes.
