Description
To increase the sensitivity of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) by at least a factor of 10, next generation experiments will require corresponding improvements in statistics and systematics. The n2EDM experiment, currently being commissioned at the Paul Scherrer Institut, will employ an array of 112 optically pumped Cesium vapor magnetometers, measuring the magnetic field map with pT sensitivity. This will help to characterize and reduce field gradients in the central apparatus up to seventh order, largely improving systematics. This talk will give an introduction to the systematic effects induced by magnetic field inhomogeneities, as well as an overview and status report on the Cesium magnetometer array.
