Description
The TRIUMF neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment is the first
experiment that will use the new spallation driven superfluid helium UCN
source at TRIUMF. This experiment will employ a room temperature Ramsey
Resonance based EDM apparatus and aims to constrain the nEDM by an order
of magnitude. In this design, inhomogeneities and lack of
stability of the applied magnetic fields are expected to be leading
sources of systematic errors in the measurement. This presentation will
discuss recent R&D efforts toward active and passive magnetic shielding,
magnetic field generation inside shielded volumes, and precision
magnetometry.
