Description
Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) of elementary particles are important candidates
for CP violation and hence possible sources for the observed matter-antimatter
asymmetry in the universe. The Jülich Electric Dipole Moment Investigation
(JEDI) collaboration is searching for EDMs of light nuclei. Ideally this would
be done in a designated storage ring using the frozen spin concept. Such a ring
does not exist currently but is in the design phase. The COSY ring in Jülich is
used to study various issues of a designated ring and uses an rf-
Wienfilter to measure the EDM of the deuteron for
the first time. This talk gives an overview of the experimental techniques with
a focus on recent achievements and highlights their relevance for a designated
EDM ring.
