A proposed method of measuring the electric-dipole moment of the neutron by ultracold neutron interferometry

  • 2. Argonne National Lab., IL (USA)

Description

The use of an ultracold neutron interferometer incorporating an electrostatic accelerator having a strong electric field gradient to accelerate neutrons by their possible electric dipole moment is proposed as a method of measuring the neutron electric dipole moment. The method appears to have the possibility of extending the sensitivity of the measurement by several orders of magnitude, perhaps to 10-30 e-cm. 9 refs., 3 figs
