A Revised Experimental Upper Limit on the Electric Dipole Moment of the Neutron

J. M. Pendlebury, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +47

We present for the first time a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the experimental results that set the current world sensitivity limit on the magnitude of the electric dipole…

A highly stable atomic vector magnetometer based on free spin precession

S. Afach, G. Ban, G. Bison +31

We present a magnetometer based on optically pumped Cs atoms that measures the magnitude and direction of a 1 T magnetic field. Multiple circularly polarized laser beams were us…

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…

Measurement of a false electric dipole moment signal from Hg atoms exposed to an inhomogeneous magnetic field

S. Afach, C. A. Baker, G. Ban +46

We report on the measurement of a Larmor frequency shift proportional to the electric-field strength for atoms contained in a volume permeated with aligned magneti…

A device for simultaneous spin analysis of ultracold neutrons

S. Afach, G. Ban, G. Bison +37

We report on the design and first tests of a device allowing for measurement of ultracold neutrons polarisation by means of the simultaneous analysis of the two spin components. Th…
