Optically Pumped Cs Magnetometers Enabling a High-Sensitivity Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment

C. Abel, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +57

An array of sixteen laser-pumped scalar Cs magnetometers was part of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 2015 and 201…

PicoTesla absolute field readings with a hybrid 3He/87Rb magnetometer

Christopher Abel, Georg Bison, W. Clark Griffith +10

We demonstrate the use of a hybrid He / Rb magnetometer to measure absolute magnetic fields in the pT range. The measurements were undertaken by probing time-dependent…

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…

The n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +45

We present the new spectrometer for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) search at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), called n2EDM. The setup is at room temperature in vacuum…

Search for axion-like dark matter through nuclear spin precession in electric and magnetic fields

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +45

We report on a search for ultra-low-mass axion-like dark matter by analysing the ratio of the spin-precession frequencies of stored ultracold neutrons and Hg atoms for an a…

Improved limit on the permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg

W. C. Griffith, M. D. Swallows, T. H. Loftus +3

We report the results of a new experimental search for a permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg utilizing a stack of four vapor cells. We find d(199Hg) = (0.49 \pm 1.29_stat \pm…
