Characterization of ultracold neutron production in thin solid deuterium films at the PSI Ultracold Neutron source
G. Bison, B. Blau, W. Chen +13
We determined the ultracold neutron (UCN) production rate by superthermal conversion in the solid deuterium (sD) moderator of the UCN source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI…
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…
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…
Solid deuterium surface degradation at ultracold neutron sources
A. Anghel, T. L. Bailey, G. Bison +27
Solid deuterium (sD_2) is used as an efficient converter to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN). It is known that the sD_2 must be sufficiently cold, of high purity and mostly in its…
