Key to the increased statistical sensitivity of our experiment is an increase of the coherent measurement time. This will be achieved by reducing the velocity of a cryogenic beam of BaF molecules to 30m/s using a 4.5 m long traveling-wave Stark decelerator. We are currently working on the deceleration of a cryogenic beam of SrF molecules. SrF molecule is lighter than BaF and can be brought to a standstill for the same length of the decelerator. We have decelerated a beam of SrF molecules to zero velocity and trapped the molecules in the electric traps inside the decelerator for 50 ms.
*The NL-eEDM consortium receives program funding, EEDM-166 from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
