Outline of Research at the Start |
One of the biggest problems of current particle physics is the baryonic asymmetry in the universe. The standard model of particle physics cannot explain the baryonic asymmetry quantitatively, and an unknown CP-violating phase is needed to explain it. A heavy new elementary particle called SUSY is one of the possible candidates to violate the CP symmetry. The permanent electric dipole moment of an electron is a good probe to search for the existence of such particles. This research aims to measure the permanent electric dipole moment of an electron to solve the problem.
