Description
The TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) source produced UCNs for the first time in 2025. As part of the characterization of this new UCN source, we installed a prototype storage cell for the TUCAN EDM experiment with a guide geometry similar to that expected in a real experiment. We measured the filling, storage, and emptying of UCNs with this cell, optimizing the timing sequence to simulate the best statistics achievable for an nEDM measurement. The results of these tests provide the first demonstration of the capability of the TUCAN source to drive future nEDM measurements with high UCN statistics. This presentation will describe these results and their implications for the TUCAN EDM experiment’s statistical reach at the $10^{-27}$ ecm level and beyond.
