[in2p3-01213941] A highly stable atomic vector magnetometer based on free spin precession

18 février 2017

We present a magnetometer based on optically pumped Cs atoms that measures the magnitude and direction of a 1 $\mu$T magnetic field. Multiple circularly polarized laser beams were used to probe the free spin precession of the Cs atoms. The design was optimized for long-time stability and (...)

[in2p3-01199753] A revised experimental upper limit on the electric dipole moment of the neutron

18 février 2017

We present for the first time a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the experimental results that set the current world sensitivity limit on the magnitude of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron. We have extended and enhanced our earlier analysis to include recent developments in (...)

[in2p3-01337513] Ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators, NANOSC: a fast ultracold neutron detector for the nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute

2 novembre 2016

This paper summarizes the results from measurements aiming to characterize ultracold neutron detection with 6Li-doped glass scintillators. Single GS10 or GS20 scintillators, with a thickness of 100-200 micrometer, fulfill the ultracold neutron detection requirements with an acceptable (...)

[in2p3-01299739] Measurement of the Double-Beta Decay Half-Life and Search for the Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay of $^{48}{\rm Ca}$ with the NEMO-3 Detector

20 juin 2016

The NEMO-3 experiment at the Modane Underground Laboratory has investigated the double-$\beta$ decay of $^48\rm Ca$. Using $5.25$ yr of data recorded with a $6.99\,\rm g$ sample of $^48\rm Ca$, approximately $150$ double-$\beta$ decay candidate events have been selected with a (...)

[in2p3-01140188] Measurement of a false electric dipole moment signal from $^{199}$Hg atoms exposed to an inhomogeneous magnetic field

18 novembre 2015

We report on the measurement of a Larmor frequency shift proportional to the electric-field strength for $^199\rm Hg$ atoms contained in a volume permeated with aligned magnetic and electric fields. This shift arises from the interplay between the inevitable magnetic field gradients and the (...)

[in2p3-01120938] A device for simultaneous spin analysis of ultracold neutrons

18 novembre 2015

We report on the design and first tests of a device allowing for measurement of ultracold neutrons polarisation by means of the simultaneous analysis of the two spin components. The device was developed in the framework of the neutron electric dipole moment experiment at the Paul Scherrer (...)

[in2p3-01166055] Result of the search for neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay in $^{100}$Mo with the NEMO-3 experiment

9 novembre 2015

The NEMO-3 detector, which had been operating in the Modane Underground Laboratory from 2003 to 2010, was designed to search for neutrinoless double $\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay. We report final results of a search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decays with $6.914$ kg of $^100$Mo using the entire (...)

[in2p3-01159876] Observation of gravitationally induced vertical striation of polarized ultracold neutrons by spin-echo spectroscopy

19 octobre 2015

We describe a spin-echo method for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) confined in a precession chamber and exposed to a $|B_0|=1~\text\mu T$ magnetic field. We have demonstrated that the analysis of UCN spin-echo resonance signals in combination with knowledge of the ambient magnetic field provides an (...)

[in2p3-01169555] Gravitational depolarization of ultracold neutrons: Comparison with data

9 octobre 2015

We compare the expected effects of so-called gravitationally enhanced depolarization of ultracold neutrons to measurements carried out in a spin-precession chamber exposed to a variety of vertical magnetic-field gradients. In particular, we have investigated the dependence upon these field (...)

[in2p3-01177619] The Billotron: a way to experimentally apprehend the subatomic world

18 juillet 2015

The Billotron is a device designed and built by the LPC Caen to illustrate the methods with which physicists are able to study the basic structure of matter, in particular the nucleus of the atom.
