PY - 2019 DA - 2019// TI - Novel Method for the Direct Measurement of the tau Lepton Dipole Moments T2 - Phys. Rev. Lett. JO - Physical Review Letters SP - 011801 EP - 5pp VL - 123 IS - 1 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - A novel method for the direct measurement of the elusive magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton is presented. The experimental approach relies on the production of tau(+) leptons from D-s(+) -> tau(+)nu(tau) decays, originating in fixed-target collisions at the LHC. A sample of polarized tau(+)leptons is kinematically selected and subsequently channeled in a bent crystal. The magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau(+) lepton are measured by determining the rotation of the spin-polarization vector induced by the intense electromagnetic field between crystal atomic planes. The experimental technique is discussed along with the expected sensitivities.
