Improved search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations in the presence of mirror magnetic fields with a dedicated apparatus at the PSI UCN source

N. J. Ayres, Z. Berezhiani, R. Biondi +22

While the international nEDM collaboration at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) took data in 2017 that covered a considerable fraction of the parameter space of claimed potential si…

Johnson-Nyquist Noise Effects in Neutron Electric-Dipole-Moment Experiments

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +37

Magnetic Johnson-Nyquist noise (JNN) originating from metal electrodes, used to create a static electric field in neutron electric-dipole-moment (nEDM) experiments, may limit the s…

The design of the n2EDM experiment

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…

Optical Magnetometry based Current Source

Peter A. Koss, Reza Tavakoli Dinani, Luc Bienstman +2

We present a current monitoring system based on optical magnetometry, which is able to discriminate true current variations from environmental effects at room temperature. The syst…

A search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +40

It has been proposed that there could be a mirror copy of the standard model particles, restoring the parity symmetry in the weak interaction on the global level. Oscillations betw…

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…
