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…

Mapping of the magnetic field to correct systematic effects in a neutron electric dipole moment experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +50

Experiments dedicated to the measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron require outstanding control of the magnetic field uniformity. The neutron electric dipole mome…

PicoTesla absolute field readings with a hybrid 3He/87Rb magnetometer

Christopher Abel, Georg Bison, W. Clark Griffith +10

We demonstrate the use of a hybrid He / Rb magnetometer to measure absolute magnetic fields in the pT range. The measurements were undertaken by probing time-dependent…

nEDM experiment at PSI: data-taking strategy and sensitivity of the dataset

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +40

We report on the strategy used to optimize the sensitivity of our search for a neutron electric dipole moment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Measurements were made upon ultracold…

The n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +45

We present the new spectrometer for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) search at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), called n2EDM. The setup is at room temperature in vacuum…
