Description

The n2EDM experiment aims to measure the neutron Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) with an unprecedented precision of $10^{-27} \, e$ cm.
The EDM is the interaction between the neutron spin and an external electric field. It is measured via precession frequency measurements on stored ultracold neutrons.
A better measurement of the nEDM probes CP-violation Beyond the Standard Model and allows for better constraints on the processes leading to matter-antimatter asymmetry.
This talk will present the status of the n2EDM experiment which will start data-taking at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland) in summer 2026.
