How to build a magnetometer with thermal atomic vapor: A tutorial
Anne Fabricant, Irina Novikova, Georg Bison
This article is designed as a step-by-step guide to optically pumped magnetometers based on alkali atomic vapor cells. We begin with a general introduction to atomic magneto-optica…
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…
A highly stable atomic vector magnetometer based on free spin precession
S. Afach, G. Ban, G. Bison +31
We present a magnetometer based on optically pumped Cs atoms that measures the magnitude and direction of a 1 T magnetic field. Multiple circularly polarized laser beams were us…
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…
Design and performance of an absolute He/Cs magnetometer
H. -C. Koch, G. Bison, Z. D. Grujić +8
We report on the design and performance of a highly sensitive combined He/Cs magnetometer for the absolute measurement of magnetic fields. The magnetometer relies on the magnet…
Testing isotropy of the universe using the Ramsey resonance technique on ultracold neutron spins
I. Altarev, G. Ban, G. Bison +38
Physics at the Planck scale could be revealed by looking for tiny violations of fundamental symmetries in low energy experiments. In 2008, a sensitive test of the isotropy of the U…
