Abstract: Direct measurements of the magnetic (g-2) and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton have been elusive, mostly due to its short lifetime, the need for large samples of highly-boosted and polarized taus, and the presence of neutrinos. A novel experimental technique is proposed that would fill this gap of particle physics, with interesting perspectives for a stringent test of the standard model and search of new physics. The method relies on a dedicated fixed-target setup at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that fully exploits the polarization and spin precession properties of tau leptons channeled in bent crystals.
