All LTP students and postdocs of PSI and associated groups/universities are invited to join this event in the LTPhD seminar series. There will be plenty of time for discussions and to enjoy the Guetzli together.

15:30 → 15:50 The UCN system for n2EDM

Ultracold neutrons (UCN) can be stored for several minutes, and can therefore be used to study the properties of the neutron. I will give an introduction to ultracold neutron physics. I will explain the production of UCN, the principles of UCN transport. Further, I will discuss how we used measurements and neutron transport simulations to investigate the UCN transmission of the UCN guide system for n2EDM.

Speaker: Cornelis Bernardus Doorenbos (PSI - Paul Scherrer Institut)

16:00 → 16:20 Coffee & Guetzli

16:20 → 16:40 MUonE & Muon g-2 – How theorists can help

The CERN-based experiment MUonE aims at shedding new light on the ever more intricate physics concerning the muon g-2. I will be giving a theory-biased account of their plans, with a focus on why actual new light should be coming from their results, and why this entails a set of demanding challenges, from both the experimental and the theoretical point of view. Details will be given for the latter only – no cables.
