Probing Dark Energy models with neutrons

G Pignol - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2015 - World Scientific
There is a deep connection between cosmology—the science of the infinitely large—and
particle physics—the science of the infinitely small. This connection is particularly manifest in …

New search for the neutron electric dipole moment with ultracold neutrons at ILL

AP Serebrov, EA Kolomenskiy, AN Pirozhkov… - Physical Review C, 2015 - APS
The search for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron is a crucial test for theoretical
particle physics models with violation of time and spatial invariance. A new experiment …
