Optimization of a storage variant of equipment for measuring the storage variant of the electrical dipole moment of a neutron using ultracold neutrons

A regime of operation of equipment for measuring the electrical dipole moment (EDM) of a neutron using ultracold neutrons in a storage variant is considered. Two methods of optimizing the equipment are discussed: one based on minimization of the EDM measurement error and the error of a pair of adjacent measurements with different relative orientations of the magnetic and electric fields (cycle error). The practical equivalence of the two approaches is shown for actual situations. (5 figures) (auth)
