Comment on "An Improved Experimental Limit on the Electric-Dipole Moment of the Neutron," C.A.Baker et al [hep-ex/0602020]

Abstract

We point out that the rotation of the Earth leads to a non-negligible apparent electric-dipole moment effect for this experiment.

arXiv comment2 pages, no figures The manuscript has been modified (11 Oct 2007) to take into account the initial response from the authors, to shorten the mansuscript, and to clarify the relevance of the effect
