On the Possibility of Electric Dipole Moments for Elementary Particles and Nuclei
Published on this day 75 years ago is the paper by Edward M. Purcell and Norman F. Ramsey that launched search for the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) neutrons, electrons, atomic nuclei, and other elementary particles such as muons. Ramsey recounts the story of how this paper and the first…
