(Andrew is the tall one, in the back.)
Andrew Harrison was awarded first place at the 9th Annual Randy Kobes Poster Competition, held September 17 in the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex at the University of Winnipeg. Andrew's research was on “Robotic Magnetic Field Mapping for the nEDM Experiment at TRIUMF” and his supervisor was Russell Mammei.
Also competing from our group were Sean Hansen-Romu (supervisor: Blair Jamieson), Wolfgang Klassen (supervisor: Jeff Martin), and Steven Waldron (supervisor: Blair Jamieson). Sean's poster was on "Geant4 Ultracold Neutron Simulations: Falling, Filling, and Magnetic Fields". Wolfgang's was on "Lasers and Magnets". Steven's was called "Looking for the Invisible: Neutrinos, WCSim, and Hyper-Kamiokande".
Coming in third place was Sashika Kumaragamage (supervised by Chris Bidinosti) presenting "RF Coil Switches for Low Field TRASE MRI" (a highly related topic to our research).

Our paper in IEEE Magnetics Letters provides new insight into the design of coil structures to be contained within magnetic shielding. The results are useful for designing magnetic shielding and shield-coupled coils for electric dipole moment experiments.
The image shows how the optimal spacing of a Helmholtz coil, or anti-Helmholtz coil, changes, depending on how big it is relative to a surrounding magnetic cylindrical shell.

Coils inside magnetic shielding
Our paper in IEEE Magnetics Letters provides new insight into the design of coil structures to be contained within magnetic shielding. The results are useful for designing magnetic shielding and shield-coupled coils for electric dipole moment experiments.
We published an article in AIP Advances on how magnetic field gradients interact with passive magnetic shielding. The results are useful for designing all kinds of magnetic field systems, including those for an nEDM experiment.

The cyclotron may be in its annual shutdown period, but the Meson Hall is busier than ever as the Ultra-Cold Neutron (UCN) project kicks off the construction of their state-of-the-art experimental area. The work currently underway is a product of extensive planning and constitutes a significant step forward in the project’s development. Upon completion, the UCN facility will produce the highest density of UCN in the world and enable a new generation of experiments into the fundamental interactions of neutrons.

Our group built the Focal Plane Scanner for the main spectrometer, and the diamond strip tracker for electron detection in the Compton polarimeter. Dr. Jie Pan completed her PhD on the experiment last year.
