Sentences with phrase «neutron edm»
Yet as the $ 6.5 - billion LHC has forged ahead, the neutron EDM experiments, with modest budgets of tens of millions of dollars, have hit a wall.

Despite the problems, nuclear and particle physicists continue to express broad support for the neutron EDM studies, which they say are a unique complement to the LHC work.
But a larger neutron EDM, possibly detectable by the latest efforts, could point to physics beyond the standard model (see «Lowering the bar»).
Not exact matches
It aims to detect the neutron's presumed EDM by looking for changes in the light emitted when cold neutrons interact with helium - 3 nuclei in the presence of an electric field, a process that is subtly altered if the neutron has an EDM.
An EDM for the neutron would violate charge - parity symmetry, which dictates that particle interactions are unchanged when particles are replaced by their antimatter counterparts and by their mirror images.
