Development of neutron electric dipole moment experiments at Los Alamos
=Abstract=
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) provide a very sensitive probe of novel sources of T (time reversal) and CP (charge conjugation and parity) violation, and are a key ingredient in understanding why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. At Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), our team has been working on development of two new neutron EDM experiments: one to be installed at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a goal sensitivity of 5x10^-28 e-cm and the other to be installed at the LANL ultracold neutron source with a goal sensitivity of 3x10^-27 e-cm. In this seminar, the current status of the development of these two experiments will be presented.
