The neutron life time can be determined in an ultra cold neutron trap experiment by measuring the protons from the neutron β decay( maximum p energy 752 eV) with a large area p detector. Different methods, where the p are measured by scintillators and photon detectors,either directly or via p- induced δ electrons, are being investigated. A complete signal- background separation was obtained by exposing 20 keV p to a bulk Tl dotted CsI crystal connected to a photomultiplier tube. More interesting are thin scintillator layers connected to photo diodes or avalanche photo diodes, which are insensitive to γ rays and can be used in a large magnetic field.
