Abstract

Searches of the electric dipole moment (EDM) at a pure magnetic ring, like COSY, encounter strong background coming from magnetic dipole moment (MDM). The most troubling issue is the MDM spin rotation in the so-called imperfection, radial and longitudinal, B-fields. To study the systematic effects of the imperfection fields at COSY we proposed the original method which makes use of the two static solenoids acting as artificial imperfections. Perturbation of the spin tune caused by the spin kicks in the solenoids probes the systematic effect of cumulative spin rotation in the imperfection fields all over the ring. The spin tune is one of the most precise quantities measured presently at COSY at [Formula: see text] level. The method has been successfully tested in September 2014 run at COSY, unravelling strength of spin kicks in the ring’s imperfection fields at the level of [Formula: see text].

Studies of Systematic Limitations in the EDM Searches at Storage Rings

Searches of the electric dipole moment (EDM) at a pure magnetic ring, like COSY, encounter strong background coming from magnetic dipole moment (MDM). The most troubling issue is the MDM spin rotation in the so-called imperfection, radial and longitudinal, B-fields. Perturbation of the spin tune caused by the spin kicks in the solenoids probes the systematic effect of cumulative spin rotation in the imperfection fields all over the ring. The method has been successfully tested in September 2014 run at COSY, unravelling strength of spin kicks in the ring’s imperfection fields at the level of 10−3rad. This is an Open Access article published by World Scientific Publishing Company. The generic signal of the EDM is a rotation of the spin in an electric field. The EDM interacts with the motional electric field, which tilts the stable spin axis, Ω
