Sussex's world-beating neutron EDM measurement apparatus
Neutron EDM collaboration meeting at the University of Sussex
28-30 April 2016
Next week, we will be hosting a collaboration meeting of the neutron EDM
experiment.
Sussex has for decades been a world leader in the measurement of this
fundamental quantity, which is related to the dominance of matter over
antimatter in the Universe. The most sensitive experiment to date is now
based at PSI, Switzerland and the 30-strong collaboration is meeting at
Sussex to discuss progress to date and plans for the future.
For more information about the experiment, see www.neutronedm.org.
