Colloquium Seminar: Ultra-Cold Neutrons at TRIUMF
Speaker: Larry Lee, TRIUMF
Location: Auditorium
Time: 14:00
An Ultra-Cold Neutron (UCN) facility is presently under construction in the TRIUMF Meson Hall. The 500 MeV proton beam from the main cyclotron will be used to feed a spallation-driven superthermal UCN source. A first experiment searching for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) is currently being planned. The design and construction status of the UCN facility, and an overview of the development strategy towards a next generation nEDM measurement will be presented.
