PAC Proposal

The deuteron EDM (dEDM) proposal as submitted to the BNL PAC in April 2008 is given here: 2008 deuteron_EDM_proposal.

The proposal to the Brookhaven Program Advisory Committee submitted in August 2004 can be found in deuteron_EDM_proposal (2004).

The deuteron EDM experiment at 10^-27 e·cm is 10 to 100 times better than current EDM limits in terms of sensitivity to quark and gluon EDM, and the QCD theta parameter. It probes CP-violation at a range predicted by speculative theories beyond the standard model. The deuteron and neutron EDM searches are complementary and combined together they will provide severe constraint to the CP-violation sources. If CP-violation is found at that level it could shed light on the Baryon/anti-Baryon asymmetry mystery of the universe.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
