Towards the first measurement in the 10^-27 e.cm range for the neutron electric dipole moment KU Leuven
Measurements of static electric dipole moments (EDM) of particles, atoms or molecules (i.e. asymmetries in the distribution of positive and negative charges in the system) are promising routes to find new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) and shed light on the as yet unexplained asymmetry between the amounts of matter and antimatter in the universe. The observed small size of the neutron EDM has eliminated already many theories, and is ...
