Description
for the nEDM Collaboration at PSI
The n2EDM project, aiming for a most sensitive measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron hosted by PSI, takes advantage of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the ultracold neutron storage and transport. This includes modelling of the UCN spin transport system, which also allows the study of depolarization effects in the guides during filling, during storage in the precession chambers, in the emptying guides and in the polarization analysis system. For the understanding of transversal depolarization in the chambers, as a function of magnetic gradient fields, a method of calculation of autocorrelation functions for UCNs was implemented in the MCUCN code. In this presentation, we will give an update of the n2EDM model and most recent results on spin kinetics.
