Abstract The J¨ulich Electric Dipole moment Investigation (JEDI) Collaboration works on a measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of charged hadrons using a storage ring. Such a dipole moment would violate CP symmetry, providing a possible option for physics beyond the Standard Model. The JEDI experiment requires a small beam orbit root mean square (RMS) in order to control systematic uncertainties. Therefore an ongoing upgrade of the Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) at Forschungszentrum J¨ulich is done in order to improve the precision of the beam position. The first results of the beam based alignment method, that was tested with one quadrupole in the ring, will be discussed. Keywords Beam-based alignment · Quadrupole · Cooler Synchrotron · COSY
1 Introduction There is an observable matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. In order to explain that, there are more CP violating effects needed [1] than contained in the Standard Model already. One candidate for that is a non vanishing electric dipole moment (EDM) of subatomic particles, as permanent EDMs of subatomic particles violate parity and time reversal symmetry. Thus they also violate CP symmetry, in case the CPT theorem holds. The predictions of the EDM of the Standard Model are orders of magnitude too small to explain the dominance of matter in the universe. The discovery of a larger EDM would hint towards physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute towards an explanation for the dominance of matter. It is possible to measure the EDM of subatomic particles by observing the interaction of their spin with strong electric fields. As the J¨ulich Electric Dipole moment Investigation (JEDI) Collaboration aims to measure the EDM of charged subatomic particles, namely This article is part of the Topical Collection on Proceedings of the 7th Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics (SSP 2018), Aachen, Germany, 10-15 June 2018 Edited by Hans Str¨oher, J¨org Pretz, Livia Ludhova and Achim Stahl Tim Wagner
