Question • How well should E and B be aligned? • What should the uniformity of E be?
Requirements from vxE effects • Motional field • False EDM due to motional field • Example • EB=1º, v=10-4 m/s gives dsys=10-28 e cm
Mechanisms for nonzero <v> • Non-uniform coating • Non-uniform UCN loss • Non-uniform depolarization of UCN and/or 3He • Energy dependent loss rate of UCN + gravity • Holes on the cell wall
Non-uniform coating — cont’d • We need for if • In order to guarantee , we need • Therefore we need • The same argument applies also to depolarization, which also applies to 3He atoms. • Note: this effect only appears in experiments where the precession is continuously monitored. Note: 3He mean free path at 0.3K is ~ 8 cm.
Energy dependent loss rate + gravity — cont’d h = 10 cm V = 165 neV
Holes on the cell wall 40m gap for a 1cm diameter valve on a 500cm2 wall
Summary Additional requirements from the liner vxB effect • E and B be parallel to 1o • Non-uniformity of the coating be such that • 10-5 (neutron loss/bounce) • <10-5 (3He depolarization/bounce)
