Sensitivity of Fields Generated within Magnetically Shielded Volumes to Changes in Magnetic Permeability

T. Andalib, J. W. Martin, C. P. Bidinosti +4

Future experiments seeking to measure the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) require stable and homogeneous magnetic fields. Normally these experiments use a coil internal to a…
