New limit on the electron electric dipole moment.

چکیده
We present the result of our most recent search for T violation in 205Tl, which is interpreted in terms of an electric dipole moment of the electron d(e). We find d(e) = (6.9 +/- 7.4)x10(-28)e cm, which yields an upper limit /d(e)/ < or = 1.6x10(-27)e cm with 90% confidence. The present apparatus is a major upgrade of the atomic beam magnetic-resonance device used to set the previous limit on d(e).

New experimental limit on the electron electric dipole moment.
A search for the electron electric dipole moment d, is carried out with two counterpropagating beams of ground-state 'Tl. The experiment employs atomic-beam magnetic resonance with separated oscillatory fields combined with laser state selection and fluorescence detection. Extensive tests were made for possible systematic effects. The result for the atomic electric dipole moment is d, =(1.6+'5....
متن کاملLimits on CP Violation from Electric Dipole Moments
Searches for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) provide a unique constraint on violation of CP symmetry beyond the Standard Model. Recent experiments improved the limits on EDMs of Hg and the electron. Combined with the limit on the neutron EDM and recent advances in theoretical interpretation, they set very tight constraints on CP violation in Supersymmetry. Many new experimental ideas a...
متن کاملThe electron electric dipole moment enhancement factors of Rubidium and Caesium atoms
The enhancement factors of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ground states of two paramagnetic atoms; rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) which are sensitive to the electron EDM are computed using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory and our results are compared with the available calculations and measurements. The possibility of improving the limit for the electron EDM using the results of...
متن کاملDesign for a fountain of YbF molecules to measure the electron's electric dipole moment
We propose an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron using ultracold YbF molecules. The molecules are produced as a thermal beam by a cryogenic buffer gas source, and brought to rest in an optical molasses that cools them to the Doppler limit or below. The molecular cloud is then thrown upward to form a fountain in which the EDM of the electron is measured. A non...
متن کاملNew limit on the permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg.
We present the first results of a new search for a permanent electric dipole moment of the 199Hg atom using a UV laser. Our measurements give d(199Hg) = -(1.06+/-0.49+/-0.40)x10(-28)e cm. We interpret the result as an upper limit absolute value [d(199Hg)]<2.1x10(-28)e cm (95% C.L.), which sets new constraints on theta bar;(QCD), chromo-EDMs of the quarks, and CP violation in supersymmetric models.
