Abstract:
The TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) Collaboration is developing a new measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) with the goal of improving the current best limit of dn < 1.8E-26 ecm (90% C.L.) to the level of dn < 2E-27 ecm (90% C.L.). A non-zero nEDM requires the violation of charge-parity (CP) symmetry, and so the measurement of the nEDM can shed light on unanswered questions of fundamental physics such as baryon asymmetry, the strong CP problem, and extensions of the Standard Model such as supersymmetry.
