Neutron Spin Transport Coils for the n2EDM experiment at PSI

ORAL

Abstract

Measurements of the electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) are an important tool in the search for beyond the standard model physics. A non-zero measurement of the nEDM would show a violation of CP symmetry necessary to explain the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe. The n2EDM collaboration seeks to measure the nEDM with a sensitivity of (1*10-27 e cm) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. This experiment involves polarized neutrons that will be stored in a precession chamber inside of a magnetically shielded room. I will present the design, fabrication, and installation of the neutron spin transport coils that are used guide polarized neutrons into the precession chamber.
