Constraints
preserve neutron polarization (holding field)• Larmor precession
- adiabatic – field uniformity- abrupt – field smallness
• Majorana transitions ?
avoid gradients in measurement cell from:• holding field coils (left on) – field fringes• magnetized Metglas (HF off) – field fringes• magnetic material – no magnetic material
spin dressing field uniformity – no conductors in B0 region
neutron guide construction – no current sheets in guide
SM polarizer – 300 G – 100 mG field taper

Issue – adiabaticity / abruptness
100 mG doldrums• too large for abrupt changes• too low for adiabatic rotation in cryostat• could try and ‘steer’ spins into fringe with exit fringe
either or both conditions will preserve polarization:

Field and neutron spin direction – 100 mG

Field and neutron spin direction – 70 mG
![Page 7: Conceptual Design of the Neutron Guide Holding Field Christopher Crawford, Yunchang Shin University of Kentucky nEDM Collaboration Meeting 2009-06-19](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1b217f8b9ab0599955ee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Field and neutron spin direction – 40 mG

Current windings on end face
Bt=0 on ends so solution is axially symmetric
equipotentials M=c
form winding traces for current on face n£(H=rM)
end plates connect along inside/outside

Issue – gradients Design – DSCTC
guide field ~ dipole• directly affects B0 field if left on• magnetizes Metglas if turned
on and off repeatedly
flux return ~ quadrupole• magnetic material in cryostat
distorts the field• currents – DSCTC
similar to dressing coil designarbitrary geometryinner coils – guide fieldouter coils – flux returnend-caps – contain B-fieldcurrent sheet omitted

Integration of DSCTC and steel flux return

Issues – current sheet / spin dressing coils
guide field should terminate at beginning of B0 field: conductors inside spin-dressing coils
perturb RF field to match up and cancel out fringes
don’t want current-sheet on end-cap of the DSCTC• complicates neutron guide• need to cancel B0 fringe
quadrupole residual• direct – gradient• indirect – magnetization

Holding field downstream of bender
5 G holding field in 10 m of guide downstream of bender
external 1010 steel yoke, 1/16” x 42.5 cm x 42.5 cm
40 cm x 1 mm Al winding• 160 A-turns top and bottom• 92 /m, 4.7 W/m
coil vs. permanent magnets:• allows use of steel on all four
sides of guide for both internal and external shielding
• can be turned off during measurement cycle
• low power
lightweight – 31 kg/m• mount on guide housing
horizontal vs. longitudinal field• double-cos-theta-coil transition• need same current as solenoid
only on top and bottom• each side can mount separately
