What can a GNOME do? Search targets for the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches

S. Afach, D. Aybas Tumturk, H. Bekker +50

Numerous observations suggest that there exist undiscovered beyond-the-Standard-Model particles and fields. Because of their unknown nature, these exotic particles and fields could…

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…

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…

Mapping of the magnetic field to correct systematic effects in a neutron electric dipole moment experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +50

Experiments dedicated to the measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron require outstanding control of the magnetic field uniformity. The neutron electric dipole mome…

Search for topological defect dark matter with a global network of optical magnetometers

Samer Afach, Ben C. Buchler, Dmitry Budker +46

Ultralight bosons such as axion-like particles are viable candidates for dark matter. They can form stable, macroscopic field configurations in the form of topological defects that…

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…
