SELDOM is a high-energy physics research project lead by the PI Nicola Neri and financed by the European Research Council – Consolidator Grant n. 771642 – within the Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Program. It is a 5 year project, started April 1st 2018, which aims to contribute to explain the puzzle of the absence of antimatter in the Universe. The results of the project will be published in open-access papers and disseminated to students and to the general public.
SELDOM explores a new experimental method to decisively boost the study of the electric dipole moment (EDM) and magnetic dipole moment (MDM) of unstable particles at the LHCb experiment at CERN. To achieve this goal, a novel fixed-target experiment in front of the LHCb detector is proposed to measure the MDM and search for the EDM of short-lived charm baryons that are channeled in bent crystals. New experimental techniques have to be developed for the study of long-lived strange baryons decaying at the end of the LHCb magnet. The project works in synergy with the LHCb collaboration and the CERN laboratory, contributing to the upgrade of the apparatus and of the experimental techniques.
Participating to an interesting workshop on EDM at ECT* in Trento https://indico.ectstar.eu/event/199/overview where the PhD students Giorgia Tonani and Sara Cesare gave excellent talks!
It is finally published!

Congratulations to Sara Cesare PhD student @LaStatale for the best oral presentation at Hadron 2023 conference in the New Facilities session for the talk “Proof-of-principle test for a charm baryon dipole moment experiment at LHC”
#BeamTime is now in full swing after the first collisions of the year a few weeks back. As we move into chapter two of #LHCRun3, let’s take a look at some of the upgrades the @LHCbExperiment did to prepare for the #LHC’s third #physics run.
