Using an optimal observable method, we obtain the real and imaginary parts of dτ as Re(dτ) = (−0.62 ± 0.63) × 10−17 ecm and Im(dτ) = (−0.40 ± 0.32) × 10−17 ecm, respectively. These results are consistent with null electric dipole moment at the present level of experimental sensitivity and improve the sensitivity by about a factor of three.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalAn improved search for the electric dipole moment of the τ leptonArticle - Refereed2022-04-24The Author(s)Journal of High Energy Physicshttps://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP04(2022)110
