Ultracold neutrons are neutrons that have been cooled below 3 mK. At this temperature they travel at a speed less than ~8 m/s and exhibit the peculiar behavior of being able to be stored in magnetic, material, and gravitational bottles for periods ranging up to their beta-decay lifetime (~15 min). They present a new avenue for performing fundamental neutron experiments such as: searching...

The Qweak collaboration has reported first results of a program of precision measurements of parity violating electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer at Jefferson Laboratory[1]. Together with earlier measurements at higher momentum transfer, which are used to constrain hadronic corrections, this initial Qweak data set has provided the first experimental determination of the...

For more than half a century now, the neutron Electric Dipole Moment (nEDM) experiments have ruled out more CP-violation theories than any other violating type of experiments in history of physics. All the new generation nEDM experiments use a modified NMR technique and are aiming to reduce the current upper limit by one to two orders of magnitude by means -among others- of improving the...
