SPECT: A spin-flip loaded magnetic ultracold neutron trap for a determination of the neutron lifetime

J. Auler, M. Engler, K. Franz +13

The confinement of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in a three dimensional magnetic field gradient trap allows for a measurement of the free neutron lifetime with superior control over sp…

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…

A neutron trigger detector for pulsed reactor neutron sources

Julian Auler, Dieter Ries, Bernd Ulmann +10

A variety of experiments investigating properties of neutrons can be performed at pulsed reactor neutron sources like the research reactor TRIGA Mainz. A typical problem faced by t…

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…
