An Improved Limit on the Electric Dipole Moment of the Muon
نویسنده
چکیده
Data from the muon g-2 experiment at Brookhaven National Lab has been analyzed to search for a muon electric dipole moment(EDM), which would violate parity and time reversal symmetries. An EDM would cause a tilt in the spin precession plane of the muons, resulting in a vertical oscillation in the position of electrons hitting the detectors. No signal has been observed. Based on this analysis, an improved limit of 2.8× 10e-cm(95% CL) is set on the muon EDM.

Supersymmetric Relations Among Electromagnetic Dipole Operators
Supersymmetric contributions to all leptonic electromagnetic dipole operators have essentially identical diagramatic structure. With approximate slepton universality this allows the muon anomalous magnetic moment to be related to the electron electric dipole moment in terms of supersymmetric phases, and to radiative flavor changing lepton decays in terms of small violations of slepton universal...
متن کاملFuture Muon Dipole Moment Measurements
From the famous experiments of Stern and Gerlach to the present, measurements of magnetic dipole moments, and searches for electric dipole moments of “elementary” particles have played a major role in our understanding of sub-atomic physics. In this talk I discuss the progress on measurements and theory of the magnetic dipole moment of the muon. I also discuss a new proposal to search for a per...
متن کاملIntense Muon Physics Working Group Summary
Over many years, the muon has provided important input to the standard model: the value of the weak coupling constant GF , strong proof of the V −A nature of the weak interaction, information on the induced weak pseudoscalar form factor gp, strong contraints on new physics from its anomalous magnetic moment, and sensitive limits on the presence of new physics which would cause lepton flavor vio...
متن کاملAn Improved ISM Equation of State for Polar Fluids
We developed an equation of state (EOS) by Ihm, Song, and Mason (ISM) for polar fluids. The model consists of four parameters, namely, the second virial coefficient, an effective van der Waals co-volume, a scaling factor, and the reduced dipole moment. The second virial coefficient is calculated from a correlation that uses the heat of vaporization, and the liquid density at the normal boiling ...
متن کاملEnhanced electric dipole moment of the muon in the presence of large neutrino mixing
The electric dipole moment (edm) of the muon ( d(e)(&mgr;)) is evaluated in supersymmetric models with nonzero neutrino masses and large neutrino mixing arising from the seesaw mechanism. It is found that if the seesaw mechanism is embedded in the framework of a left-right symmetric gauge structure, the interactions responsible for the right-handed neutrino Majorana masses lead to an enhancemen...
