Description
At the FRM-II reactor we are currently setting up a new apparatus to measure the neutron EDM with a projected sensitivity of 10-28 ecm. To reach this 100 times improved measurement precision, next to the strongest possible source of ultra-cold neutrons, also the understanding of many systematic issues on a yet unprecedented level is required.
Understanding systematic effects includes the control of small magnetic fields and large electric fields. I will give an overview of the ongoing implementation of such an apparatus, including an overview of some technical advancements and milestones that actually enable this precision.
