Magnetic field uniformity in neutron electric dipole moment experiments

C. Abel, N. Ayres, T. Baker +53

Magnetic field uniformity is of the utmost importance in experiments to measure the electric dipole moment of the neutron. A general parametrization of the magnetic field in terms…

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…

A device for simultaneous spin analysis of ultracold neutrons

S. Afach, G. Ban, G. Bison +37

We report on the design and first tests of a device allowing for measurement of ultracold neutrons polarisation by means of the simultaneous analysis of the two spin components. Th…

Experimental study of 199Hg spin anti-relaxation coatings

Z. Chowdhuri, M. Fertl, M. Horras +8

We report on a comparison of spin relaxation rates in a Hg magnetometer using different wall coatings. A compact mercury magnetometer was built for this purpose. Glass cell…
