Charge readout electronics for the DUNE horizontal drift far detector: design and performance in ProtoDUNE-HD

DUNE Collaboration, S. Abbaslu, F. Abd Alrahman +1364

DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently under construction, whose far detectors will be the largest liquid argon ti…

A large 'Active Magnetic Shield' for a high-precision experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +48

We present a novel Active Magnetic Shield (AMS), designed and implemented for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The experiment will perform a high-sensitivity se…

Search for an interaction mediated by axion-like particles with ultracold neutrons at the PSI

N. J. Ayres, G. Bison, K. Bodek +44

We report on a search for a new, short-range, spin-dependent interaction using a modified version of the experimental apparatus used to measure the permanent neutron electric dipol…

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…

The `n2EDM MSR' -- a very large magnetically shielded room with an exceptional performance for fundamental physics measurements

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +41

We present the magnetically shielded room (MSR) for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute which features an interior cubic volume with each side of length 2.92m, thus…

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…
