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…

Ultracold neutron production and up-scattering in superfluid helium between 1.1 K and 2.4 K

K. K. H. Leung, S. Ivanov, F. M. Piegsa +2

Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) were produced in a 4 liter volume of superfluid helium using the PF1B cold neutron beam facility at the Institut Laue-Langevin and then extracted to a det…

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…

A comparison of two magnetic ultra-cold neutron trapping concepts using a Halbach-octupole array

K. Leung, S. Ivanov, F. Martin +3

This paper describes a new magnetic trap for ultra-cold neutrons (UCNs) made from a 1.2 m long Halbach-octupole array of permanent magnets with an inner bore radius of 47 mm combin…

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…
