Description

A unique program of measurements of electric and magnetic dipole moments of unstable
particles at the LHC, based on the phenomenon of spin precession of channeled particles in
bent crystals, is presented [1, 2]. The ongoing R&D, feasibility studies, and the physics reach
for the proposed experiment based on the LHCb detector are discussed, along with future
perspectives for the tau lepton [3].
