After 6 years of taking data, the Muon $g-2$ Experiment measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $$a_μ$$ to a final precision of 127 ppb. In parallel to this analysis, it is possible to perform a measurement of the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) using the straw tracker detectors. In the Standard Model (SM) EDMs are predicted to be vanishingly small. A non-zero muon EDM would constitute physics beyond the SM (BSM) and be a source of charge-parity violation. The current limit on the muon EDM was set at the predecessor experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, giving $$|d_\mu|<1.8\times10^{-19}\ e\cdot$$cm Fermilab aims to improve this by an order of magnitude, which will help to constrain BSM theories. This poster will cover the importance, methodology, and status of this measurement.
