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…
Precision measurements with LPCTrap at GANIL
E. Lienard, G. Ban, C. Couratin +15
The experimental achievements and the results obtained so far with the LPCTrap device installed at GANIL are presented. The apparatus is dedicated to the study of the weak interact…
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…
