Electric Dipole Moment Searches

Clark Griffith (Sussex University)


Abstract

Measurement of a non-zero permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) would be clear evidence of CP violating new physics. I will give an overview of current EDM experiments, including searches for atomic EDMs sensitive to CP violating nuclear forces, experiments using polar molecules sensitive to the EDM of the electron, and the status of efforts to improve the neutron EDM limit.
