Search for electric dipole moments using storage rings (srEDM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

One of the great mysteries in the natural sciences is the dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. According to our present understanding, the early universe contained the same amount of matter and antimatter. If the universe had behaved symmetrically as it developed, every particle would have been annihilated by one of its antiparticles. We therefore owe our very existence to mechanis ...
