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…

A Revised Experimental Upper Limit on the Electric Dipole Moment of the Neutron

J. M. Pendlebury, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +47

We present for the first time a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the experimental results that set the current world sensitivity limit on the magnitude of the electric dipole…

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…

Measurement of a false electric dipole moment signal from Hg atoms exposed to an inhomogeneous magnetic field

S. Afach, C. A. Baker, G. Ban +46

We report on the measurement of a Larmor frequency shift proportional to the electric-field strength for atoms contained in a volume permeated with aligned magneti…
