Description
The search for a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) is of significant interest in understanding the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. Historically, two methods have been employed to measure an EDM, storage of ultracold neutrons (UCN) and cold neutron beams, with the latter being abandoned in the 1980s due to a limiting relativistic systematic effect. The BeamEDM experiment developed at the Universität Bern represents a novel concept to overcome this limitation with cold neutron beams using time-of-flight measurement. The ultimate goal of this project aims to reach a sensitivity competitive with future UCN experiments. This talk presents an overview of the experiment and the latest results.
