The goal of the EDM^3 project is to measure violations of charge-parity (CP) symmetry, which says that all physical interactions are the same if every charge and spatial coordinate is reversed. CP symmetry is known to be violated under some conditions, but all known violations are extremely small, and a larger violation is needed to explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe. The EDM^3 experiment aims to do this by measuring the electric dipole moment of particles, a quantity that can only exist due to CP violations. This requires embedding the particles in a film of frozen noble gas. The apparatus for this experiment is currently being designed, using simulations to determine what design will allow for the largest number of particles to be embedded.
