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…
Laser Spectroscopy of Muonic Atoms and Ions
Randolf Pohl, François Nez, Luis M. P. Fernandes +44
Laser spectroscopy of the Lamb shift (2S-2P energy difference) in light muonic atoms or ions, in which one negative muon is bound to a nucleus, has been performed. The measur…
Slow Muons and Muonium
Klaus Kirch
The Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland operates the high intensity proton accelerator facility HIPA. A 590 MeV kinetic energy proton beam of presently up to 2.4 mA is sent to ta…
Thin-disk laser scaling limit due to thermal-lens induced misalignment instability
Karsten Schuhmann, Klaus Kirch, Francois Nez +2
We present an obstacle in power scaling of thin-disk lasers related with self-driven growth of misalignment due to thermal lens effects. This self-driven growth arises from the cha…
Progress Towards a Muonium Gravity Experiment
Daniel M. Kaplan, Klaus Kirch, Derrick C. Mancini +5
The gravitational acceleration of antimatter, , has yet to be directly measured but could change our understanding of gravity, the Universe, and the possibility of a fifth…
Ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators, NANOSC: a fast ultracold neutron detector for the nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute
G. Ban, G. Bison, K. Bodek +32
This paper summarizes the results from measurements aiming to characterize ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators. Single GS10 or GS20 scintillators, with a…
