Date/Time: Tue Nov 05 2024 at 14:00<br/><br/>Location: Remote<br/><br/>Speaker: Marie Blatnik (Los Alamos)<br/><br/>Title: The Cryogenic Effort to Measure the Neutron?s Electric Dipole Moment, and More Attainable Goals<br/><br/>Abstract: The search for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) represents one of the most sensitive probes into new physics beyond the Standard Model, with implications for understanding the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry. Using ultracold neutrons, limits on the nEDM have been set to the precision of 10^-26 e cm. This talk will initially explore a now-defunded cryogenic nEDM experiment, focusing on the high voltage challenges critical to reaching an nEDM limit on the order of 10^-28 e cm. The TRIUMF Advanced Ultracold Neutron source will support a room-temperature nEDM experiment that can gain one extra order of magnitude without the cryogenic experiment?s challenges. Finally, this talk will comment on the utility of ultracold neutrons, leveraging them for fundamental science and applied uses.
