Abstract

The next generation experiments to measure the neutron EDM are being proposed at the Los Alamos National Lab. The use of spin polarized ³He is a critical component of the experiment. Thus measuring the relaxation times of polarized ³He under the actual conditions of the neutron EDM is a crucial step in the success of the experiment. This paper talks about the effort underway at Duke University to measure the relaxation time of polarized ³He at cryogenic temperatures. The applications available in LabView and ExpressPCB have been used extensively in these efforts.
