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…
Gravitational Depolarization of Ultracold Neutrons: Comparison with Data
S. Afach, N. J. Ayres, C. A. Baker +47
We compare the expected effects of so-called gravitationally enhanced depolarization of ultracold neutrons to measurements carried out in a spin-precession chamber exposed to a var…
Observation of gravitationally induced vertical striation of polarized ultracold neutrons by spin-echo spectroscopy
S. Afach, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +45
We describe a spin-echo method for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) confined in a precession chamber and exposed to a magnetic field. We have demonstrated that the ana…
Dynamic stabilization of the magnetic field surrounding the neutron electric dipole moment spectrometer at the Paul Scherrer Institute
S. Afach, G. Bison, K. Bodek +34
The Surrounding Field Compensation (SFC) system described in this work is installed around the four-layer Mu-metal magnetic shield of the neutron electric dipole moment spectromete…
An Improved Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
M. Burghoff, A. Schnabel, G. Ban +34
A permanent electric dipole moment of fundamental spin-1/2 particles violates both parity (P) and time re- versal (T) symmetry, and hence, also charge-parity (CP) symmetry since th…
Diffraction of slow neutrons by holographic SiO_2 nanoparticle-polymer composite gratings
J. Klepp, C. Pruner, Y. Tomita +8
Diffraction experiments with holographic gratings recorded in SiO nanoparticle-polymer composites have been carried out with slow neutrons. The influence of parameters such as…
