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

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5553512

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{sup -30} e-cm. 9 refs., 3 figs.
