- Martin Breidenbach (SLAC)
One of the fundamental questions of modern particle physics is the existence of finite electric dipole moments (EDM) of the hadrons. In case of charged particles, like protons and deuterons, the proposed method is the precise determination of the precession of the beam polarization vector in a storage ring. For that purpose, the JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) collaboration...
The KOTO experiment, conducted at J-PARC (Ibaraki Japan), is set to observe
the rare decay $K_L\rightarrow \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$.
Since the amplitude of $K_L\rightarrow \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$ violates the charge conjugation and parity symmetries,
the branching ratio is heavily suppressed in the Standard model (SM) and calculated to be
$\mathcal{B}(K_L \to \pi^0 \nu...
