The world-leading high-density UCN source developed for the TUCAN EDM experiment provides the statistical foundation for reaching improved sensitivity to the neutron electric dipole moment. With increased UCN density, the TUCAN collaboration aims to reach a statistical sensitivity at the $\sim 10^{-27}\ e\,\mathrm{cm}$ level in an initial measurement campaign. To realize this goal, the...

This work is part of the n2EDM experiment located at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Switzerland. The nEDM measurement principle is based on the use of two precession chambers, one above the other, and separated by a high voltage electrode. Mercury vapour is used as a comagnetometer in order to measure the average magnetic field in the same volume as ultra cold neutrons (UCN). By measuring the...

UCN data is often analyzed by empirical models and fit parameters. This limits interpretability of measurements, projecting away information of well understood particle level dynamics. We present a physical inference on UCN storage and accumulation data from the SuperSUN source at the ILL, allowing for reconstruction of in-situ total energy spectra and associated physics. The model will be...

A spallation-driven ultracold neutron (UCN) source developed by the TRIUMF Ultra Cold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has recently been commissioned. Reliable simulations and optimization of the setup require a good understanding of the velocity spectrum of UCNs produced in the source. To address this, a vertical time-of-flight (ToF) spectrometer has been developed and applied to...
