Description
Sensitive electric dipole moment (EDM) experiments can probe new physics at very high scales of order 10^3 TeV; much larger than the current reach of accelerators. The storage ring EDM method with its large statistical power could push the sensitivities of the proton EDM to the 10^-29 to 10^-30 e*cm range, several orders of magnitude better than the neutron EDM experiments. The method can be applied to deuteron and ^3He with similar sensitivities providing enough information to decipher the CP-violating source should one is found to be non-zero.
