Description
Searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) in fundamental particles and quantum
systems with spin are pivotal experiments at the intersection of low-energy and
high-precision particle physics. These investigations offer a complementary pathway to
uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model, parallel to high-energy collider
searches. EDM experiments are among the most sensitive probes for detecting
non-standard time-reversal (T) symmetry violations and, via the CPT theorem,
CP-violation (CPV). Current EDM measurements test new physics at mass scales in or
above the 10 − 100TeV range.
This community input to the European Particle Physics Strategy Update highlights the
status of the field, and describes challenges and opportunities in Europe.
