Design of a Novel Electromagnet for an Experimental Search for CP Violation in ortho-Positronium Decays

Observation of CP-violation in the lepton sector can help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe. CALIOPE, or CP Aberrant Leptons in ortho-Positronium Experiment, is a proposed experiment which aims to measure CP violating angular correlations in the gamma-rays emitted in the decay of ortho-Positronium. This experiment will use an existing barrel array of NaI detectors located at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). It will improve over previous searches by increasing angular coverage and systematics. In this talk we will focus the design of the novel electromagnet that will be used in this experiment. This electromagnet design is one of several proposed improvements to decrease the systematics effects of earlier experiments.
