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…
Determination of diffusion coefficients of mercury atoms in various gases from longitudinal spin relaxation in magnetic gradients
B. Clément, M. Guigue, A. Leredde +4
We present a method to measure the binary diffusion coefficient of mercury atoms in a gas at room temperature and low pressure. It is based on the measurement of the longitudinal s…
The `n2EDM MSR' -- a very large magnetically shielded room with an exceptional performance for fundamental physics measurements
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +41
We present the magnetically shielded room (MSR) for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute which features an interior cubic volume with each side of length 2.92m, thus…
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…
Manipulation of gravitational quantum states of a bouncing neutron with the GRANIT spectrometer
Benoit Clément, Stefan Baeßler, Valery V. Nesvizhevsky +9
The bouncing neutron is one of the rare system where gravity can be studied in a quantum framework. To this end it is crucial to be able to select some specific gravitational quant…
Spatial resolution determination of a position sensitive ultra-cold neutron detector
B. Clément, L. Gesson, T. Jenke +4
The study of the properties of the quantum states of bouncing neutrons requires position sensitive detection with micro-metric spatial resolution. The UCNBoX detector relies on Cha…
