Constraining spin-dependent short range interactions using neutron spin precession close to a mirror
نویسنده
چکیده
Spin-dependent short range interactions of free neutrons with matter may be searched for in various ways. This short note discusses pseudomagnetic precession of trapped ultracold neutrons in vicinity to bulk matter, which should be several orders of magnitude more sensitive than any other method proposed so far.

Limits on new long range nuclear spin-dependent forces set with a K-3He comagnetometer.
A magnetometer using spin-polarized K and 3He atoms occupying the same volume is used to search for anomalous nuclear spin-dependent forces generated by a separate 3He spin source. We measure changes in the 3He spin precession frequency with a resolution of 18 pHz and constrain anomalous spin forces between neutrons to be less than 2x10(-8) of their magnetic or less than 2x10(-3) of their gravi...
متن کاملNonlinear amplification of small spin precession using long-range dipolar interactions.
In measurements of small signals using spin precession the precession angle usually grows linearly in time. We show that a dynamic instability caused by spin interactions can lead to an exponentially growing spin-precession angle, amplifying small signals and raising them above the noise level of a detection system. We demonstrate amplification by a factor of greater than 8 of a spin-precession...
متن کاملNeutron spin manipulation devices using YBCO films
The Meissner effect in a thin-film superconductor can be used to create a sharp boundary between regions of different magnetic field and hence can be used as a component of neutron spin manipulation devices. We have developed two cryogenic neutron spin manipulation devices using single-crystal, high-Tc, YBCO films, which can be cooled without using liquid cryogens and eliminate small angle scat...
متن کاملSpin and Isospin Asymmetry, Equation of State and Neutron Stars
In the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. We have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. According to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.
متن کاملProbing long-range carrier-pair spin–spin interactions in a conjugated polymer by detuning of electrically detected spin beating
UNLABELLED Weakly coupled electron spin pairs that experience weak spin-orbit interaction can control electronic transitions in molecular and solid-state systems. Known to determine radical pair reactions, they have been invoked to explain phenomena ranging from avian magnetoreception to spin-dependent charge-carrier recombination and transport. Spin pairs exhibit persistent spin coherence, all...
