  25. At present, there are a number of concerns: ・Do imperfections in spin detection, signal processing, feedback field generation, ... affect the oscillation frequency? ・Does the presence of Rb atoms interfere the measurement? ・Does the low frequency operation really help in reducing the spourious drifts? These should be tested and investigated by using actual setup.

  41. Summary ●Precession of 129Xe spins is maintained for unlimitedly long times, by application of a feedback fieldgenerated fromoptically detected spins. The merit of this optically coupled spin maser as a scheme for the EDM search is the capability of operation at very low B0 fields, as mG or below. ● Frequency precision presently reached is 9.3 nHz, which corresponds to an EDM sensitivity of 910-28 ecm (E=10kV/cm). ● There still remain drifts/fluctuations in the maser frequency that are correlated with ambient temperature and noises. Improvements and further developments are under progress. ・Reinforcement of 129Xe polarization by introducing a narrow-line high-power TA-DFB pumping laser ・Stabilization of solenoid current ・Stabilization of cell temperature by means of a heat transfer fluid GALDEN ・Cell development for the E-field application ・Magnetometry with NMOR, aiming at detection of d(129Xe) in a 10-28 -10-29ecm regime.
