ACME III: A Search for the Electron Electric Dipole Moment (Sloan)

This proposal is for measuring the electron electric dipole moment to test the standard model of particle physics. The three group leaders (Co-Pi Gabrielse from Northwestern, Co-PI Doyle from Harvard, and PI DeMille from Yale) and their research groups collaborate in a very coordinated way to build apparatus, commission it, take data, analyze it, reach a conclusion and publish the result together. The central apparatus is located at Harvard, with apparatus and method development taking place at Harvard, Yale and Northwestern.
