Schematic of proposed apparatus
Slow neutrons from the Spallation Neutron Source (ORNL) enter the apparatus from the right. They are trapped in L4He cells located between the green and red high-voltage plates. The trapped neutrons precess in a weak magnetic field; this precession rate is measured both when the electric field is parallel and anti-parallel to the magnetic field. Any difference in precession rates is proportional to the neutron electric dipole moment.
