Neutron Electric Dipole Moment - Current Experiments

Current Experiments

Currently, there are at least four experiments aiming at improving the current limit (or measuring for the first time) on the neutron EDM with a sensitivity down to 10–28e·cm over the next 10 years, thereby covering the range of prediction coming from Supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model.

  • Cryogenic neutron EDM experiment being set up at the Institut Laue-Langevin
  • nEDM experiment under construction at the new UCN source at the Paul Scherrer Institute
  • nEDM experiment being envisaged at the Spallation Neutron Source
  • nEDM experiment being built at the Institut Laue-Langevin

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or experiments:

    Beneath the azure current floweth;
    Above, the golden sunlight glows.
    Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
    As if the storms could give repose.
    Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)

    The true thrift is always to spend on the higher plane; to invest and invest, with keener avarice, that he may spend in spiritual creation, and not in augmenting animal existence. Nor is the man enriched, in repeating the old experiments of animal sensation; nor unless through new powers and ascending pleasures he knows himself by the actual experience of higher good to be already on the way to the highest.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
