Description
Searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) of spin 1/2 particles such as the neutron are sensitive probes for CP
violation beyond the standard model, a key to solving the baryon asymmetry problem. In this presentation I give a
brief overview of n2EDM, an experiment aiming to measure the neutron EDM with a sensitivity of 1 × 10−27e.cm.
I then focus on two areas of my PhD work related to magnetic field uniformity in n2EDM: analysis of magnetic
field maps of the apparatus, and calculation of a systematic effect generated by field non-uniformities referred to as the "false EDM".
