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…

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…

Monte Carlo calculation and verification of the geometrical factors for the NPDGamma experiment

Kyle B. Grammer, David Blyth, James D. Bowman +5

The NPDGamma experiment measures the parity-violating asymmetry in -ray emission in the capture of polarized neutrons on liquid parahydrogen. The sensitivity to the asymmetry fo…

Enhanced Polarization of Low Pressure He through Metastability-Exchange Optical Pumping at High Field

J. D. Maxwell, J. Alessi, G. Atoian +7

We report high steady-state nuclear polarization of 1 torr He gas nuclei via metastability-exchange optical pumping at magnetic fields above 2 T. The introduction of highly pol…

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…

First Observation of -odd Asymmetry in Polarized Neutron Capture on Hydrogen

D. Blyth, J. Fry, N. Fomin +61

We report the first observation of the parity-violating 2.2 MeV gamma-ray asymmetry in neutron-proton capture using polarized cold neutrons incident on a liquid parahydr…
