A New High-Intensity Source for Ultracold Neutrons
K. Abe, S. Ahmed, B. Algohi +78
The TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has completed a new superthermal source for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) at TRIUMF. Neutrons produced in a spallation targe…
Performance of the TUCAN Magnetically Shielded Room
S. Ahmed, B. Algohi, D. Anthony +64
The TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has commissioned a large magnetically shielded room to be used for measuring the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) t…
Ultracold Neutron Guide-Coating Facility at U.Winnipeg
T. Hepworth, A. Zahra, B. Algohi +72
We report the construction and commissioning of a new ultracold neutron (UCN) guide-coating facility at the University of Winnipeg. The facility employs pulsed laser deposition (PL…
Initial results of the TRIUMF ultracold advanced neutron source
B. Algohi, D. Anthony, L. Barrón-Palos +83
We report the first results on ultracold neutron production from a new spallation-driven superfluid He (He-II) source at TRIUMF, which is being prepared for a new, precise meas…
Neutron EDM Experiment with an Advanced Ultracold Neutron Source at TRIUMF
T. Higuchi, B. Algohi, D. Anthony +67
The TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has been developing a high-intensity ultracold neutron (UCN) source aimed at searching for the neutron electric dipole m…
Cryogenic systems for the TUCAN EDM experiment
Jeffery W. Martin, B. Algohi, D. Anthony +60
The TUCAN (TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron) Collaboration is completing a new ultracold neutron (UCN) source. The UCN source will deliver UCNs to a neutron electric dipole moment…
Demonstration of magnetically silent optically pumped magnetometers for the TUCAN electric dipole moment experiment
Wolfgang Klassen, Shomi Ahmed, Kiera Pond Grehan +9
We report the performance of a magnetically silent optically pumped cesium magnetometer with a statistical sensitivity of 3.5 pT/rtHz at 1~Hz and a stability of 90 fT over 150 seco…
Characterization of electroless nickel-phosphorus plating for ultracold-neutron storage
H. Akatsuka, T. Andalib, B. Bell +51
Electroless nickel plating is an established industrial process that provides a robust and relatively low-cost coating suitable for transporting and storing ultracold neutrons (UCN…
The Precision nEDM Measurement with UltraCold Neutrons at TRIUMF
Ryohei Matsumiya, Hiroaki Akatsuka, Chris P. Bidinosti +45
The TRIUMF Ultra-Cold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration aims at a precision neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) measurement with an uncertainty of $10^{-27}\,e\cdot\mathrm{c…
A fast-switching magnet serving a spallation-driven ultracold neutron source
S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +47
A fast-switching, high-repetition-rate magnet and power supply have been developed for and operated at TRIUMF, to deliver a proton beam to the new ultracold neutron (UCN) facility.…
Wigner-Eckart Theorem and the False EDM of Hg
Wolfgang Klassen, Jeffery W. Martin, Guillaume Pignol
In neutron electric dipole moment experiments, 199Hg is used as a comagnetometer. The comagnetometer suffers from a false EDM arising in leading order from a gradient dBz/dz in the…
A beamline for fundamental neutron physics at TRIUMF
S. Ahmed, T. Andalib, M. J. Barnes +44
This article describes the new primary proton beamline 1U at TRIUMF. The purpose of this beamline is to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN) for fundamental-physics experiments. It del…
First ultracold neutrons produced at TRIUMF
