A global perspective on searches for Electric Dipole Moments
Guillaume Pignol
Many experiments are underway in the world to search for a non-zero electric dipole moment (EDM) of a particle with spin 1/2 such as the neutron or the electron. Finding an EDM wou…
Data blinding for the nEDM experiment at PSI
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +42
Psychological bias towards, or away from, a prior measurement or a theory prediction is an intrinsic threat to any data analysis. While various methods can be used to avoid the bia…
Optically Pumped Cs Magnetometers Enabling a High-Sensitivity Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
C. Abel, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +57
An array of sixteen laser-pumped scalar Cs magnetometers was part of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 2015 and 201…
Acoustic Rabi oscillations between gravitational quantum states and impact on symmetron dark energy
Gunther Cronenberg, Philippe Brax, Hanno Filter +6
The standard model of cosmology provides a robust description of the evolution of the universe. Nevertheless, the small magnitude of the vacuum energy is troubling from a theoretic…
Boron-10 conversion layer for ultra-cold neutron detection
Benoit Clement, Alexandre Bes, Ana Lacoste +5
We report on the development of a 10B conversion layer optimized for ultra-cold neutron detection with silicon detectors. The efficiency of this layer is high and roughly uniform o…
