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…
Achieving ultra-low and -uniform residual magnetic fields in a very large magnetically shielded room for fundamental physics experiments
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +47
High-precision searches for an electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) require stable and uniform magnetic field environments. We present the recent achievements of degaussing…

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, L. Bienstman +58
We present the design of a next-generation experiment, n2EDM, currently under construction at the ultracold neutron source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) with the aim of carr…
Characterization of magnetic field noise in the ARIADNE source mass rotor
Nancy Aggarwal, Allard Schnabel, Jens Voigt +19
ARIADNE is a nuclear-magnetic-resonance-based experiment that will search for novel axion-induced spin-dependent interactions between an unpolarized source mass rotor and a nearby…
A Three-step Model for Optimizing Coil Spacings Inside Cuboid-shaped Magnetic Shields
Tianhao Liu, Allard Schnabel, Jens Voigt +2
A three-step model for calculating the magnetic field generated by coils inside cuboid-shaped shields like magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs) is presented. The shield is modelled a…
Action potentials induce biomagnetic fields in Venus flytrap plants
Anne Fabricant, Geoffrey Z. Iwata, Sönke Scherzer +6
Upon stimulation, plants elicit electrical signals that can travel within a cellular network analogous to the animal nervous system. It is well-known that in the human brain, volta…
