The content of this page was refreshed on the occasion of the CERN Council Open Symposium 2019 on the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, as a coordinated input from EDM searches worldwide.
The information collected here has been kindly provided by many colleagues. Thank you!
The process of making it a more complete and better digestible collection is still ongoing.
We appreciate any kind of suggestions, additions and pointing out possible mistakes.
