Johnson-Nyquist Noise Effects in Neutron Electric-Dipole-Moment Experiments

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +37

Magnetic Johnson-Nyquist noise (JNN) originating from metal electrodes, used to create a static electric field in neutron electric-dipole-moment (nEDM) experiments, may limit the s…

The design of the n2EDM experiment

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, L. Bienstman +58

We present the design of a next-generation experiment, n2EDM, currently under construction at the ultracold neutron source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) with the aim of carr…

A search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +40

It has been proposed that there could be a mirror copy of the standard model particles, restoring the parity symmetry in the weak interaction on the global level. Oscillations betw…

Demonstration of Muon-Beam Transverse Phase-Space Compression

A. Antognini, N. J. Ayres, I. Belosevic +16

We demonstrate efficient transverse compression of a 12.5 MeV/c muon beam stopped in a helium gas target featuring a vertical density gradient and crossed electric and magnetic fie…

Measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron

C. Abel, S. Afach, N. J. Ayres +81

We present the result of an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron at the Paul Scherrer Institute using Ramsey's method of separated oscillating magn…

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…
