Description

We present the current status of the first phase of the muon EDM experiment, which aims to directly measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of muons using the frozen-spin technique. A non-zero EDM value for muons would indicate an excess of CP violation beyond what the Standard Model predicts, potentially shedding light on the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The first phase of this experiment proposes a sensitivity of 10^(-21) ecm, with the second phase targeting an enhanced sensitivity of 10^(-23) ecm, which is four orders of magnitude improvement over previous direct measurements.
