Особенности подготовки камер хранения ультрахолодных нейтронов и чувствительность ЭДМ-спектрометра

AbstractStorage cells for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) are crucial parts of the experimental setup used to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of a neutron. The effect of the technology of preparation and sputtering of elements of UCN storage cells on the limiting operating voltage and on the capacity of these cells for long-term operation under high voltage with polarity switching was studied. A voltage magnitude of ±250 kV was obtained in tests of a neutron storage cell for the EDM spectrometer with a cell height of 9 cm.
