Description
The MuonEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) aims to directly measure the muon's electric dipole moment (EDM), with a sensitivity better than $6\times 10^{-23} e\cdot cm$ in its final phase. Achieving a measurement greater than this sensitivity would indicate new physics, revealing a larger CP violation than the known sources in the standard model.
The experiment utilizes the frozen-spin technique, which allows precise probing of EDM-induced spin precession of stored muons by supressing the one induced by the muon's g-2 term. This methodology targets sensitivities below the previously established upper limit of $1.8\times 10^{-19} e\cdot cm$ (CL 95%), obtained in 2009 at Brookhaven National Laboratory from direct measurements on the muon.
In this presentation, we will detail our experimental design, highlighting the technical developments and the strategies required for achieving the targeted sensitivity.
