We have searched for a short-range spin-dependent interaction using the spin relaxation of hyperpolarized $^3$He. Such a new interaction would be mediated by a hypothetical light scalar boson with \CP-violating couplings to the neutron. The…
Measuring the depolarization rate of a $^3$He hyperpolarized gas is a sensitive method to probe hypothetical short-range spin-dependent forces. A dedicated experiment is being set up at the Institute Laue Langevin in Grenoble to improve the…
We have studied the relaxation of a spin-polarized gas in a magnetic field, in the presence of short-range spin-dependent interactions. As a main result we have established a link between the specific properties of the interaction and the…
New particles with masses in the sub-eV range have been predicted by various theories beyond the Standard Model. Some can induce new spin-spin interactions between fermions. Existing constraints on such interactions between nucleons with…
Experiments using polarized $^{3}He$ atom beams to search for short range spin dependent forces are proposed. High intensity, high polarization, small beam size $^{3}He$ atom beams have been successfully produced and used in surface science…
The possible existence of short-range forces between unpolarized and polarized spin-1/2 particles has attracted the attention of physicists for decades. These forces are predicted in various theories and provide a possible new source for…
Proceeding of the "Journ\'{e}es de Rencontre Jeunes Chercheurs" 2013. Measuring the depolarization rate of a $^3$He hyperpolarized gas is a sensitive method to probe hypothetical short-range spin-dependent forces. A dedicated experiment is…
We report on the search for a new spin-dependent P- and T-violating interaction between nucleons mediated by light, pseudoscalar bosons such as the axion which was invented to solve the strong CP problem. Our experimental approach is to use…
We investigate the sensitivities of searches for exotic spin-dependent interactions between the polarized nuclear spins of $^3$He and the particles of unpolarized or polarized solid-state masses using the frequency method and the resonance…
A magnetometer using spin-polarized K and $^3$He atoms occupying the same volume is used to search for anomalous nuclear spin-dependent forces generated by a separate $^3$He spin source. We measure changes in the $^3$He spin precession…
We have observed depolarization effects when high intensity cold neutron beams are incident on alkali-metal-spin-exchange polarized He-3 cells used as neutron spin filters. This was first observed as a reduction of the maximum attainable…
We have constrained possible new interactions which produce nonrelativistic potentials between polarized neutrons and unpolarized matter proportional to $\alpha\vec{\sigma}\cdot\vec{v}$ where $\vec{\sigma}$ is the neutron spin and $\vec{v}$…
Very light particles with CP-violating couplings to ordinary matter, such as axions or axion-like particles, can mediate long-range forces between polarized and unpolarized fermions. We describe a new experimental search for such forces…
Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter. A $P$-odd, $T$-odd, spin-dependent interaction between polarized and unpolarized matter is one…
A new limit is presented on the axionlike P,T-noninvariant monopole-dipole coupling in a range (10^{-4} - 1) cm from existing data on the relaxation of spin-polarized He-3.
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…
We present a phenomenological constraint on a pseudovector light boson beyond the Standard Model, which can induce a long-range spin-dependent interaction $\alpha^{\prime\prime}({\bf s}_1\cdot{\bf s}_2)\,{\rm e}^{-\lambda r}/r$. In the…
We present a search for possible spin dependent interactions of the neutron with matter through exchange of spin 1 bosons with axial vector couplings as envisioned in possible extensions of the Standard Model. This was sought using a slow…
In the article "Limits on possible new nucleon monopole-dipole interactions from the spin relaxation rate of polarized $^3$He gas", new limits on short-range, Axion-like interactions are presented. In this comment it is shown that the…
We report a new limit on a possible short range spin-dependent interaction from the precise measurement of the ratio of Larmor precession frequencies of stored ultracold neutrons and $^{199}$Hg atoms confined in the same volume. The…
