CoTEx 2.0 - Coil tests for the neutron lifetime experiment PENeLOPE — •Dominic Gaisbauer — Technische Universität München, München, Deutschland

PENeLOPE is an experiment with ultra cold neutrons (UCN) for determining their lifetime in a magneto-gravitational trap with special designed superconducting coils developed at the Technische Universität München. It is designed to have a precision of up to 'pm 0.1s.Due to their unique characteristics all coils for the trap have to be trained and tested in a preliminary experiment called CoTEx 2.0 before they can be inserted into PENeLOPE. The talk will highlight the results of the first prototype coil tests and the three coils delivered in January 2013. A short overview of CoTEx in general and the slow control and quench detection of CoTEx will also be presented.

This project is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium Garching and the Cluster of Excellence "Origin and Structure of the Universe".
