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…
Oscillations: Sensitivity of a first UCN beam experiment
G. Ban, J. Chen, P. -J. Chiu +11
Oscillations of the neutron into a hidden sector particle are processes predicted in various Standard Model extensions. This extra channel for neutron disappearance has not been te…
Electron shakeoff following the \b{eta}+ decay of 19Ne+ and 35Ar+ trapped ions
X. Fabian, X. Fléchard, B. Pons +16
The electron shakeoff of 19F and 35Cl atoms resulting from the \b{eta}+ decay of 19Ne+ and 35Ar+ ions has been investigated using a Paul trap coupled to a time of flight recoil-ion…
Precision measurements with LPCTrap at GANIL
E. Lienard, G. Ban, C. Couratin +15
The experimental achievements and the results obtained so far with the LPCTrap device installed at GANIL are presented. The apparatus is dedicated to the study of the weak interact…
Measurement of the neutron lifetime with ultra-cold neutrons stored in a magneto-gravitational trap
V. F. Ezhov, A. Z. Andreev, G. Ban +8
We report a new measurement of the neutron lifetime using ultra-cold neutrons stored in a magneto-gravitational trap made of permanent magnets. Neutrons surviving in the trap after…
A measurement of the neutron to 199Hg magnetic moment ratio
S. Afach, C. A. Baker, G. Ban +51
The neutron gyromagnetic ratio has been measured relative to that of the 199Hg atom with an uncertainty of 0.8 ppm. We employed an apparatus where ultracold neutrons and mercury at…
