Description
The Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of the neutron has attracted interest as a promising channel for finding New Physics for a long time. The existence of the neutron EDM would violate CP symmetry given CPT conservation. As a new source of CP violation, the neutron EDM would help answering one of the open questions in fundamental physics: the mystery of the baryon asymmetry in the Universe. The nEDM experiment at LANL aims to measure the neutron EDM using the Ramsey's technique of separated oscillatory fields applied to ultracold neutrons. Currently, the experimental apparatus is under development following the most modern approach that uses two precession chambers which will allow to improve the current best upper limit and achieve the final experiment’s sensitivity of 2∙10^(-27) e∙cm. In this presentation an overview of the LANL nEDM experiment will be presented.
