The neutron EDM experiment at TRIUMF aims to apply a dual species co-magnetometer using Xe-129 and Hg-199. Due to a two-photon transition, the Xe pressure in the EDM cell has to be rather high. The High Voltage tests at TRIUMF are investigating the high-voltage stability (around 10-15 kV/cm) in the presence of Xe-129 gas alone and in mixture with Hg-199. The dielectric properties of Xe-129 in...

The SNS nEDM collaboration is developing an experiment to search for the neutron’s electric dipole moment (EDM), using ultracold neutrons (UCNs) stored in superfluid liquid helium, to be run at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this experiment, being able to achieve a strong and stable electric field in superfluid liquid helium in the region where UCNs...
