N2 - We search for 129Xe EDM by using an active nuclear spin maser. In this experiment, the amplitude of the maser oscillation signal is one of the most important parameters that eventually determine the frequency precision. The amplitude is proportional to the ratio of the transverse spin relaxation time T2 to the effective longitudinal spin relaxation time (Formula presented.). In particular, for a spin maser of 3He (a co-magnetometer) for which (Formula presented.) typically reaches ∼50 h, a long T2 is needed. T2 depends on the homogeneity of the magnetic field which is applied with coils in order to keep the spins under precession. In the present report, we discuss on the design and construction of a new coil which provided a root-mean square (rms) field gradient of less than 5.0 μG/cm. The result of the field measurement has shown that the field gradient in the cell fulfills the target condition (Formula presented.), and in fact T2 of 3He has been measured to be as long as 11,000 s.
