The electrical neutrality of the neutron is linked to the electric charge quantization. It is not understood yet if the electric charge is quantized or not. Since the discovery of the neutron, many attempts have been made to measure its electric charge qn directly and indirectly. We present a method to search for a possible qn by means of an optical setup using ultracold neutrons. In a first run, a statistical sensitivity of δqn=2.4×10−20 e/day is achieved. Possible improvements to increase this sensitivity down to δqn≈1×10−21 e/day are found and discussed.
