Description
A high intensity UCN source, and an experiment to measure the neutron
Electric Dipole Moment (nEDM) are being developed for TRIUMF. Some new
physics extensions to the standard model predict nEDM VALUES both
above the present limit on the nEDM leading to their abandonment, and
just below the present limit where there are several other model
predictions vulnerable to the same fate. This talk will present
the research and development being done to design an ultra cold neutron
detector which is capable of handling the proposed high instantaneous
neutron rates in future nEDM measurements. Motivation for, and initial
designs of a detector for a simultaneous spin measurement will be
presented.
