AbstractWe have been developing a high sensitivity atomic magnetometer for atomic EDM experiments using a low-frequency nuclear spin maser. In the developed nuclear spin maser of 129 Xe, suppression of drift and fluctuation in themagnetic field is one of the important issues. The magnetometer being developed for spin maser EDM experimentsutilizes the nonlinear magneto optical rotation (NMOR) effect in Rb atomic vapor. The enhancement of the opticalrotation in a small magnetic field relies on the long spin-coherence time of Rb atoms in a vapor cell. The NMORspectrum was measured by using fabricated Rb cells coated with an anti-relaxation material. The NMOR spectrumdependence on laser frequency, cell coating, and laser beam diameter were investigated. The magnetic sensitivity atpresent is 0.2 μG/√Hz from observed NMOR and noise spectra. Keywords: Electric dipole moment, nuclear spin maser, atomic magnetometer, Nonlinear magneto optical rotation1. IntroductionThe study of permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) has been an important issue in searching for physicsbeyond the standard model [1, 2, 3]. The non-vanishing EDM associated with spin constitutes clear evidence of theviolationoftimereversalinvarianceandspacereflectioninvariance. Recently,notonlyneutronEDMexperiments[4],butalsoatomicEDMexperimentshavebeenperformedorproposed[5,6]. Intheexperiments,theEDMsignaloccursas a frequency shift Δν=4
