The Second Generation ACME Electron EDM Experiment

POSTER

Abstract

We present a proposal to upgrade the ACME experiment to make a more precise measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM). We plan a number of improvements to increase statistical sensitivity and suppress known systematic effects. Statistical sensitivity improvements include an upgraded molecular beam source, a molecular electrostatic guide, and a coherent state preparation scheme. We estimate a sensitivity improvement of at least an order of magnitude over our previous measurement [1]. \\[4pt] [1] The ACME Collaboration et al., \textit{Science} \textbf{343}, (2014) 269-272.
