Description

Full text: In order to reach the desired sensitivity goal 5×10-27 e·cm (95% C.L.), the systematic uncertainties must be smaller than 1.3×10-27 e·cm. The uncompensated field drift is one of the major systematic error in the nEDM experiment. Charging current of electric field reversals may cause a change in the magnetic field gradient which might result in a false EDM signal. A set of cesium magnetometers are used to measure the change in the vertical magnetic field gradients. This effect was experimentally studied in December 2012 during 20 days. More than a thousand electric field reversals were used for the analysis presented in this talk. (author)
