Abstract
The qBounce collaboration built over the last years a new Ramsey-type Gravitational Resonance Spectroscopy (GRS) experiment. After commissioning between 2016 and 2018, the setup was able to measure the Ramsey transitions with GRS for the first time. Here we present a search of the hypothetical charge of the neutron as an application of GRS to study nonstandard model interactions. This article will describe the measuring principle and the setup in detail.
