Emulator-based Bayesian Inference on Non-Proportional Scintillation Models by Compton-Edge Probing

David Breitenmoser, Francesco Cerutti, Gernot Butterweck +2

Scintillator detector response modelling has become an essential tool in various research fields such as particle and nuclear physics, astronomy or geophysics. Yet, due to the syst…

Mapping of the magnetic field to correct systematic effects in a neutron electric dipole moment experiment

C. Abel, N. J. Ayres, G. Ban +50

Experiments dedicated to the measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron require outstanding control of the magnetic field uniformity. The neutron electric dipole mome…

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…

Data blinding for the nEDM experiment at PSI

N. J. Ayres, G. Ban, G. Bison +42

Psychological bias towards, or away from, a prior measurement or a theory prediction is an intrinsic threat to any data analysis. While various methods can be used to avoid the bia…

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…

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…
