Abstract
We present a coil system designed to generate a highly uniform magnetic field for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. It consists of a main \(B_0\) coil and a set of auxiliary coils mounted on a cubic structure with a side length of \(273~\hbox {cm}\), inside a large magnetically shielded room (MSR). We have assembled this system and characterized its performances with a mapping robot. The apparatus is able to generate a \(1~\upmu \hbox {T}\) vertical field with a relative root mean square deviation \(\sigma (B_z)/B_z = 3\times 10^{-5}\) over the volume of interest, a cylinder of radius \(40~\hbox {cm}\) and height \({30}~\hbox {cm}\). This level of uniformity overcomes the n2EDM requirements, allowing a measurement of the neutron Electric Dipole Moment with a sensitivity better than \(1\times 10^{-27}e\,\hbox {cm}\).
