Description

The TRIUMF nEDM experiment employs a magnetically shielded Ramsey Resonance based EDM apparatus employing ultracold neutrons from a spallation based isopure Helium-II UCN source that is currently under construction at TRIUMF. Fluctuations and inhomogeneities of the roughly 1-uT measurement field are expected to be one of the leading sources of systematic errors in the experiment. This presentation will discuss recent R&D efforts toward the generation of a highly stable and uniform magnetic field inside a passively shielded volume. This work includes magnetic shield degaussing/idealization apparatus, self-shielded coil designs, and NMOR-based magnetometry.
