Search for an electric dipole moment of the neutron
The result of a search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron is presented. A short review of past experimental work and theoretical predictions introduces a discussion of the experimental method used in, and the results obtained by, the present work. The weighted mean of three separate groups of data gives (+0.4 + 1.5) X 10 "cm for the neutron's electric dipole moment. We conclude that ...
متن کاملCern{th/96{18 Implications of the Strange Spin of the Nucleon for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment in Supersymmetric Theories
Supersymmetric model contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment arise via quark electric dipole moment operators, whose matrix elements are usually calculated using the Naive Quark Model (NQM). However, experiments indicate that the NQM does not describe well the quark contributions q to the nucleon spin, and so may provide misleading estimates of electric dipole operator matrix elemen...
متن کاملA Lower Bound on the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment in the Weinberg Ansatz for Cp Violation*
We deduce a lower limit on the neutron electric dipole moment in the. Weinberg ansatz for CP violation. The resulting number is comparable to the existing experimental upper limit; this ansatz will therefore be critically tested by the next round of experiments using ultra-cold neutrons.
متن کاملLimits on CP Violation from Electric Dipole Moments
Searches for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) provide a unique constraint on violation of CP symmetry beyond the Standard Model. Recent experiments improved the limits on EDMs of Hg and the electron. Combined with the limit on the neutron EDM and recent advances in theoretical interpretation, they set very tight constraints on CP violation in Supersymmetry. Many new experimental ideas a...
متن کاملImproved experimental limit on the electric dipole moment of the neutron.
An experimental search for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron has been carried out at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble. Spurious signals from magnetic-field fluctuations were reduced to insignificance by the use of a cohabiting atomic-mercury magnetometer. Systematic uncertainties, including geometric-phase-induced false EDMs, have been carefully studied. The results may be inte...
متن کاملComment on “A proposed method for measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron using acceleration in an electric field gradient and ultracold neutron interferometry ”
We discuss the proposal of Freedman, Ringo and Dombeck [1] to search for the neutron electric dipole moment using the acceleration of neutrons in an inhomogeneous electric field followed by amplification of the resulting displacement by several methods involving spin independent interactions (gravity) or reflection from curved (spin independent) mirrors.
