36. Critical Spin Dressing

Mr Reza Tavakoli-Dinani (Department of Physics, Simon Fraser University)

Experimental techniques (cryogenic, room temperature, crystal)

Oral

It has long been proposed [1] that spin dressing [2] could be employed to realize a highly effective helium-3 nuclear precession co-magnetometer for a neutron electric dipole moment search. The proposal requires application of an intense, continuous, and far off-resonant oscillating magnetic field in such a way that the apparent Larmor precession frequency of both species is modified. Under...

6. Data blinding for the nEDM experiment

Dr Jochen Krempel (ETH Zürich - Institute for Particle Physics and Astrophysics)

Experimental techniques (cryogenic, room temperature, crystal)

Oral

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 bias (e.g. actively not looking at the result), only data blinding is a traceable and thus trustworthy method to circumvent the bias and to convince the external audience that there is not even an accidental...

26. UCN detection and spin measurement for the TRIUMF neutron EDM experiment

Mr Sean Hansen-Romu (University of Winnipeg)

19/10/2017, 11:30

Transport and manipulation of ultra cold neutrons (materials, valves, polarization, spin transport, neutron detection)

Oral

The Ultracold Neutron (UCN) source at TRIUMF is expected to produce a high density of UCN, and TRIUMF’s first experiment using this source will be a search for a neutron Electric Dipole Moment (nEDM). Tests of a lithium glass scintillator detector capable of meeting the expected high rate of UCN was tested at PSI in 2015, and the design of an apparatus to use four of these detectors is...
