The best quality was observed when growing the crystal directly from a vapor phase. The crystal was grown at different mass flows of deuterium and annealed at different temperatures. Optimum conditions were found for both, obtaining an optically transparent crystal and cooling it down with minimal damage. We found that the quality, final shape and changes during annealing of the crystal are very much dependent on the temperature profile of the cryostat walls.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF NEUTRON RESEARCH}, author={Korobkina, Ekaterina and Berkutov, Igor and Golub, Robert and Huffman, Paul and Hickman, Clark and Leung, Kent and Medlin, Graham and Morano, Matthew J. and Rao, Thomas and Teander, Cole and et al.}, year={2022}, pages={179–191} }

This apparatus uses superfluid 4He to produce a high density of Ultra-Cold Neutrons (UCN) which are contained in a suitably coated pair of measurement cells. The experiment, to be operated at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, uses polarized 3He from an Atomic Beam Source injected into the superfluid 4He and transported to the measurement cells where it serves as a co-magnetometer. The superfluid 4He is also used as an insulating medium allowing significantly higher electric fields, compared to previous experiments, to be maintained across the measurement cells. These features provide an ultimate statistical uncertainty for the EDM of 2−3× 10−28 e-cm, with anticipated systematic uncertainties below this level.}, number={11}, journal={Journal of Instrumentation}, publisher={IOP Publishing}, author={Ahmed, M.W. and Alarcon, R. and Aleksandrova, A. and Baeßler, S. and Barron-Palos, L. and Bartoszek, L.M. and Beck, D.H. and Behzadipour, M. and Berkutov, I. and Bessuille, J. and et al.}, year={2019}, month={Nov}, pages={P11017–P11017} }
