Radon EDM

From tigwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The Radon EDM experiment uses contemporary spectroscopy techniques to measure the influence of a parity-violating external field on the angular distribution of gamma rays from polarized odd-spin Rn atoms. A non-zero measurement would indicate a finite, permanent electric dipole moment for the Rn atoms, which could explain the origin of the predominance of matter in the universe.

[edit] What to use this page for

This page and all pages linked to it are intended for the development of documentation that could require frequent editing and revision by a large range of authors. These pages are available for public read access. Examples of documents appropriate for the Wiki would include an explanation of the physics of the Radon EDM experiment, a description of the apparatus, instructions for using the apparatus, and the like. These documents are written in Wikitext, and use a web-based editor.

[edit] Links to Other Sources

Other repositories of Rn EDM information are:

  • The TRIUMF Plone Site. This is a good place to put documents which will not (or should not) require frequent revision. Examples could include safety reports, equipment manuals from vendors, calibration records, proposals, talks, and records from weekly meetings. These documents may be configured for access control. PDF, Office and similar documents are appropriate.
  • The Rn EDM E-Log. This is appropriate for time-ordered information and for general discussion. (If anyone has any strong feelings about whether or not this is useful, or whether perhaps we should repurpose it as a true experiment e-log, let Greg and Tim know.)
