Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) of elementary particles are considered to be an excellent probe of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). They violate parity and time reversal, while through the CPT-theorem also breaking the CP-symmetry. This mechanism may explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
The JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) collaboration uses storage rings to measure the EDMs of protons and deuterons with high precision. In a preliminary experiment, measurements of the EDM for deuterons were performed at COSY (COoler SYnchrotron) in Jülich. One important prerequisite for these experiments was the modelling of the optical settings and the beam orbit in COSY to analyze the EDM measurement results.
Further steps include measurements of the proton EDM at COSY. The planned experiments on the proton spin coherence time at COSY will therefore be accompanied by simulation calculations with Bmad. The talk focuses on the model calculation of the beam orbit and optical functions of COSY and compares those to the measurement to achieve a significantly better model description of COSY.
