Searching for an Electric Dipole Moment using a Storage Ring Abstract The
observation of an electric dipole moment (EDM) by searches
currently being developed would be a signal of a new source of
CP-violation not present in the Standard Model of particles and
forces.
This talk will present a proposal to search for an EDM using polarized beams (muons, deuterons, or protons) circulating in a storage ring. The electric field in the particle frame arising from the motion through the magnetic field (v x B) would, if an EDM were present, generate a small precession observable by sensitive polarimeters. Two schemes will be discussed for enhancing the EDM signal in the presence of the magnetic moment precession of the stored particles. |
