  1. 184. The LANL UCN Program: status and news
    Alexander Saunders (Los Alamos National Lab)
    17/10/2016, 11:00
    Fundamental physics and precision experiments with muons, pions, neutrons, antiprotons, and other particles
    Oral
    In this talk, we present an overview of the science program at the Los Alamos spallation-driven solid-deuterium ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source, describe the performance of the source, and give the status of the source upgrade now underway. Experiments in operation or development include the UCNTau neutron lifetime experiment, UCNB/Nab detector development for measurement of neutron beta decay...

  2. 160. Electric Dipole Moments: A Look Beyond the Standard Model
    Prof. Michael Ramsey-Musolf (U. Massachusetts Amherst)

    Searches for permanent electric dipole moments
    Oral
    Searches for the permanent electric dipole moments of atoms, nucleons, and nuclei provide one of the most powerful probes of CP-violation beyond the Standard Model. I survey the opportunities for discovering BSM CP-violation with the present and next generation EDM searches; discuss the complementary of searches using different systems; and highlight the implications of these searches for...

  3. 213. Status report on the UCN/nEDM project at TRIUMF
    Dr Beatrice Franke (TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada)

    Searches for permanent electric dipole moments
    Oral
    A permanent non-zero electric dipole moment (nEDM) violates CP-symmetry. Beyond Standard Model theories predict nEDMs very close to the current upper limit of 3x10^(-26)ecm. Those predictions result from CP-violating processes, which in turn can be related to the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in our universe. Thus the search for an nEDM contributes to understanding the Baryon...

  4. 140. Relaxation and Frequency shifts; a comparison between simulations and theory for the SNS nEDM experiment.
    Dr Christopher Swank (Caltech)
    17/10/2016, 12:20
    Searches for permanent electric dipole moments
    Oral
    The behavior of a spin undergoing Larmor precession in the presence of fluctuating fields is of interest to a variety of precision measurement experiments. The fluctuating fields cause frequency shifts and relaxation which according to Redfield theory are related to their power spectrum. Recently it was shown that scattering with energy exchange from an ensemble of scatterers in thermal...

  5. 245. The search for an electric dipole moment of the neutron at PSI
    Ms Elise Wursten (KU Leuven)

    Searches for permanent electric dipole moments
    Oral
    For more than fifty years physicists have tried to measure the electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM). The limit on the nEDM has become smaller and smaller, but at present its value remains consistent with zero. However, the Standard Model of particle physics predicts a small non-zero value, as do the various extensions of the Standard Model. The predictions span several orders of...
