Groeger S Bison G Weis A 2005 We designed laser-pumped cesium vapor magnetometers in the M x configuration for the control and stabilization of magnetic field fluctuations and gradients in a new experiment searching for a permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron. The intrinsic sensitivity of the device was determined to be 30 fT in a measurement bandwidth of 1 Hz, limited by laser noise. In the shot noise limit the magnetometer can reach a sensitivity of 7 fT for 1 s integration time. Test measurements of the stability of a 2 µT magnetic field in a threefold magnetic shield have revealed fluctuations on the order of 200 fT to 300 fT with integration times in the range of 2 s to 100 s. Those fluctuations were traced back to the stability of the power supply used to generate the magnetic field. The laser-pumped magnetometer fulfills the requirements set by the planned neutron electric dipole moment experiment. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/93686 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.6028/jres.110.021 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/27308118 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Journal of research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. - 2005 high precision magnetometry laser spectroscopy optical detected magnetic resonance optical pumping Design and Performance of Laser-Pumped Cs-Magnetometers for the Planned UCN EDM Experiment at PSI. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
