This paper discusses "doubly-magic trap" operation of storage rings with superimposed electric and magnetic bending, to allow the spins of beams of different particle type to be frozen (i.e. both magic) simultaneously. A few doubly-magic…

Electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles and atoms probe violations of T and P symmetries and consequently of CP if CPT is an exact symmetry. We point out that EDMs can also serve as sensitive probes of CPT-odd, CP-even…
