``Pulsed, Polarized and Sliced – Fundamental Ingredients in Neutron Precision Physics"

The neutron represents a versatile tool in the realm of fundamental particle physics at low energies. In my research group, we focus on the development of novel precision devices and experiments with the goal to search for signals of new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. In this seminar, I will introduce a few such activities currently pursued at the University of Bern and carried out at national and international neutron research centers. The projects comprise the hunt for a neutron electric dipole moment using a pulsed beam, the search for axion-like particles, and the development of a high-sensitivity grating interferometer to measure the neutron electric charge.
