Abstract |
Magnetic and electric dipole moments of fundamental particles are
powerful probes for physics within and beyond the Standard Model.
However, these have not been experimentally accessible to date for the
case of unstable particles, due to the difficulties imposed by their
short lifetimes. In the recent years, the possibility of directly
measuring the electromagnetic dipole moments of charm baryons and
ultimately the tau lepton, produced in fixed-target collisions at the
LHC and channelled in bent crystals, has been considered. For strange
baryons, the spin precession in the magnetic field of the detector
tracking system can be exploited. We discuss the feasibility of the
proposed experiment based on the upgraded LHCb detector, along with the
physics opportunities using the dedicated fixed-target, proton-gas and
proton-proton collisions. Perspectives for different luminosity
scenarios will be outlined.
