Description
The n2EDM experiment at PSI searches for the neutron electric dipole moment using stored ultracold neutrons. Its vacuum and gas system must
simultaneously support UCN storage, high-voltage stability, the ¹⁹⁹Hg
comagnetometer, helium buffer-gas operation, and discharge cleaning. I
present an overview of the system and its recent automation: a state
machine that reduces operation to transitions between five system states
with enforced valve sequencing, pressure interlocks, and background fault
monitoring.
