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…
Magnetic field uniformity in neutron electric dipole moment experiments
C. Abel, N. Ayres, T. Baker +53
Magnetic field uniformity is of the utmost importance in experiments to measure the electric dipole moment of the neutron. A general parametrization of the magnetic field in terms…
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…
Statistical sensitivity of the nEDM apparatus at PSI to neutron mirror-neutron oscillations
C. Abel, N. Ayres, G. Bison +33
The neutron and its hypothetical mirror counterpart, a sterile state degenerate in mass, could spontaneously mix in a process much faster than the neutron -decay. Two groups hav…
Monte Carlo simulations for the optimization and data analysis of experiments with ultracold neutrons
N. J. Ayres, E. Chanel, B. Clement +5
Ultracold neutrons (UCN) with kinetic energies up to 300 neV can be stored in material or magnetic confinements for hundreds of seconds. This makes them a very useful tool for prob…
Hunting for Axionlike Dark Matter by Searching for an Oscillating Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
N. J. Ayres
We report on a search for ultra-low-mass axion-like dark matter by analysing the ratio of the spin-precession frequencies of stored ultracold neutrons and Hg atoms for an a…
