Ultra-cold neutron simulation framework for the free neutron lifetime experiment SPECT

Julian Auler, Utkarsh Bajpai, Martin Engler +10

The precise determination of the free neutron lifetime is of great significance in modern precision physics. This key observable is linked to the mixing of up and down quarks via t…

SPECT: A spin-flip loaded magnetic ultracold neutron trap for a determination of the neutron lifetime

J. Auler, M. Engler, K. Franz +13

The confinement of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in a three dimensional magnetic field gradient trap allows for a measurement of the free neutron lifetime with superior control over sp…

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…

Comparison of ultracold neutron sources for fundamental physics measurements

G. Bison, M. Daum, K. Kirch +20

Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) are key for precision studies of fundamental parameters of the neutron and in searches for new CP violating processes or exotic interactions beyond the St…

An Improved Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment

M. Burghoff, A. Schnabel, G. Ban +34

A permanent electric dipole moment of fundamental spin-1/2 particles violates both parity (P) and time re- versal (T) symmetry, and hence, also charge-parity (CP) symmetry since th…
