LEGEND-1000 Preconceptual Design Report
LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, I. Abt +261
We propose the construction of LEGEND-1000, the ton-scale Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Decay. This international experiment is designed to answer one o…
Characterization of inverted coaxial Ge detectors in GERDA for future double- decay experiments
GERDA collaboration, M. Agostini, G. R. Araujo +108
Neutrinoless double- decay of Ge is searched for with germanium detectors where source and detector of the decay are identical. For the success of future experiments it i…
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…
Demonstration of sensitivity increase in mercury free-spin-precession magnetometers due to laser-based readout for neutron electric dipole moment searches
G. Ban, G. Bison, K. Bodek +31
We report on a laser based Hg co-magnetometer deployed in an experiment searching for a permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron. We demonstrate a more than five tim…
Ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators, NANOSC: a fast ultracold neutron detector for the nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute
G. Ban, G. Bison, K. Bodek +32
This paper summarizes the results from measurements aiming to characterize ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators. Single GS10 or GS20 scintillators, with a…
The nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute
Yoann Kermaidic
The quest for a non-zero electric dipole moment (EDM) of simple systems such as the electron, the neutron or atoms / molecules is a pow- erful way to search for physics beyond the…
Gravitational Depolarization of Ultracold Neutrons: Comparison with Data
S. Afach, N. J. Ayres, C. A. Baker +47
We compare the expected effects of so-called gravitationally enhanced depolarization of ultracold neutrons to measurements carried out in a spin-precession chamber exposed to a var…
Observation of gravitationally induced vertical striation of polarized ultracold neutrons by spin-echo spectroscopy
S. Afach, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +45
We describe a spin-echo method for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) confined in a precession chamber and exposed to a magnetic field. We have demonstrated that the ana…
