Recently, a novel concept to search for a CP-violating neutron electric dipole moment has been presented [F.M. Piegsa, Phys. Rev. C 88, 045502 (2013)]. It employs a pulsed neutron beam instead of the established use of storable ultracold neutrons (UCN). The technique takes advantage of the high peak flux and the time structure of a next-generation pulsed spallation source (e.g. the planned European Spallation Source ESS) to directly measure the previously limiting systematic vxE-effect. Such an experiment would be complementary to experiments with UCN and could compete with their sensitivities on the 5×10e-28 ecm level. In this talk, I will describe this alternative approach including possible systematic effects and first test experiments. In addition, possibilities for a proof-of-principle experiment at the PF1b beam line at ILL will be discussed.
