New high-sensitivity search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations at the PSI UCN source

N. J. Ayres, Z. Berezhiani, G. Bison +19

In a search for potential signals of neutron (n) to mirror-neutron (n') oscillations, a collaboration centered at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) investigated the remaining param…

Measurement of the neutron incoherent scattering length of Hg using stored ultracold neutrons

C. Abel, K. Bodek, E. Chanel +35

We present the first direct measurement of the neutron incoherent scattering length of Hg. The measurement was performed with the Ramsey apparatus of the neutron electric…

Temperature dependent ultracold neutron transmission in D gas a test of the Young-Koppel model

G. Bison, R. Grössle, K. Kirch +4

The Young-Koppel model (YK) describes comprehensively the interaction of slow neutrons with diatomic gases such as H and D. This paper reports on the first experimental res…

Statistical sensitivity of the nEDM apparatus at PSI to neutron mirror-neutron oscillations

C. Abel, N. Ayres, G. Bison +33

The neutron and its hypothetical mirror counterpart, a sterile state degenerate in mass, could spontaneously mix in a process much faster than the neutron -decay. Two groups hav…

Neutron to Mirror-Neutron Oscillations in the Presence of Mirror Magnetic Fields

I. Altarev, C. A. Baker, G. Ban +43

We performed ultracold neutron (UCN) storage measurements to search for additional losses due to neutron (n) to mirror-neutron (n') oscillations as a function of an applied magneti…

Measurement of the Transverse Polarization of Electrons Emitted in Free Neutron Decay

A. Kozela, G. Ban, A. Białek +10

Both components of the transverse polarization of electrons emitted in the beta-decay of polarized, free neutrons have been measured. The T-odd, P-odd correlation coefficient quant…
