Abstract

An experiment searching for the neutron electric dipole moment by measuring spin-rotations in a non-centrosymmetric crystal was carried out to investigate the statistical sensitivity and systematic effects of the method. The preliminary result of this experiment is d n = ( 2.5 ± 6.5 ) ⋅ 10 − 24 e ⋅ cm . The performance was essentially limited by the low luminosity of the prototype setup. With a dedicated setup and a large quartz crystal, the expected accuracy is ∼ 2 ⋅ 10 − 26 e ⋅ cm for 100 days of data collection.
