The ACME electron electric dipole moment experiment

POSTER

Abstract

The ACME collaboration is searching for the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM) using a buffer gas-cooled beam of ThO molecules in their metastable H $^3\Delta_1$ state. We discuss details of the design, assembly, and current status of this experiment. We also describe progress towards potential future improvements in the signal-to-noise in future generations of ACME.
