EDM Searches in the FRIB Era

Abstract:  The search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of molecules, atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles have yielded only null results over the past sixty plus years. EDMs are a direct indication of both time-reversal and parity violation as well as a compelling signature of charge-parity violation. For this reason they are thought to play a crucial role in understanding the apparent scarcity of antimatter in the visible Universe. Because the EDM of particles within the Standard Model are expected to be very small, any observation of an EDM for the foreseeable future would be clear signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. I will review the landscape of EDM searches as well as discuss specific opportunities in the FRIB era.
