Measurement of the neutron incoherent scattering length of Hg using stored ultracold neutrons

C. Abel, K. Bodek, E. Chanel +35

We present the first direct measurement of the neutron incoherent scattering length of Hg. The measurement was performed with the Ramsey apparatus of the neutron electric…

Generating a highly uniform magnetic field inside the magnetically shielded room of the n2EDM experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +63

We present a coil system designed to generate a highly uniform magnetic field for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. It consists of a main coil and a set of…

A large 'Active Magnetic Shield' for a high-precision experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +48

We present a novel Active Magnetic Shield (AMS), designed and implemented for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The experiment will perform a high-sensitivity se…

Search for ultralight axion dark matter in a side-band analysis of a 199Hg free-spin precession signal

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +35

Ultra-low-mass axions are a viable dark matter candidate and may form a coherently oscillating classical field. Nuclear spins in experiments on Earth might couple to this oscillati…

Deriving Kepler's Laws Using Quaternions

Christopher J. Abel

In the past, Kepler painstakingly derived laws of planetary motion using difficult to understand and hard to follow techniques. In 1843 William Hamilton created and described the q…

A modular optically pumped magnetometer system

Thomas Coussens, Aikaterini Gialopsou, Christopher Abel +8

To address the demands in healthcare and industrial settings for spatially resolved magnetic imaging, we present a modular optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) system comprising a m…
