Further search for magnetic-field-induced neutron disappearance in an ultracold neutron beam
Gaby Brenot, Benoit Clément, Hanno Filter-Pieler +7
We report the results of the second iteration of an experiment searching for neutron-hidden-neutron oscillations in a beam of ultracold neutrons, conducted at the PF2 facility of t…
Ultracold neutron energy spectrum and storage properties from magnetically induced spin depolarization
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +53
We present a novel method for extracting the energy spectrum of ultracold neutrons from magnetically induced spin depolarization measurements using the n2EDM apparatus. This method…
Achieving ultra-low and -uniform residual magnetic fields in a very large magnetically shielded room for fundamental physics experiments
N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +47
High-precision searches for an electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) require stable and uniform magnetic field environments. We present the recent achievements of degaussing…
A large 'Active Magnetic Shield' for a high-precision experiment
C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +48
We present a novel Active Magnetic Shield (AMS), designed and implemented for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The experiment will perform a high-sensitivity se…
A search for neutron-to-hidden-neutron oscillations in a ultra-cold neutron beam
G. Ban, J. Chen, P. -J. Chiu +11
Models that postulate the existence of hidden sectors address contemporary questions, such as the source of baryogenesis and the nature of dark matter. Among the possible mixing pr…
Characterization of Charge Spreading and Gain of Encapsulated Resistive Micromegas Detectors for the Upgrade of the T2K Near Detector Time Projection Chambers
D. Attie, O. Ballester, M. Batkiewicz-Kwasnia +92
An upgrade of the near detector of the T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is currently being conducted. This upgrade will include two new Time Projection Chambers, e…
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…
