Abstract

A magnetic resonance spectrometer in which ultra-cold neutrons are stored for 60 s to give a resonance width of 0.008 Hz has been used to search for a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) by observing the change of count rate when an aligned electric field is periodically reversed relative to a magnetic field. The measured neutron EDM is (+0.3 ± 4.8) × 10−25 e cm.
