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…
Search for ultralight axion dark matter in a side-band analysis of a 199Hg free-spin precession signal
C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +35
Ultra-low-mass axions are a viable dark matter candidate and may form a coherently oscillating classical field. Nuclear spins in experiments on Earth might couple to this oscillati…
Measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron
C. Abel, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +81
We present the result of an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron at the Paul Scherrer Institute using Ramsey's method of separated oscillating magn…
Data blinding for the nEDM experiment at PSI
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +42
Psychological bias towards, or away from, a prior measurement or a theory prediction is an intrinsic threat to any data analysis. While various methods can be used to avoid the bia…
Optically Pumped Cs Magnetometers Enabling a High-Sensitivity Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
C. Abel, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +57
An array of sixteen laser-pumped scalar Cs magnetometers was part of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 2015 and 201…
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…
