Spectroscopy on the eEDM-sensitive states of ThF

Kia Boon Ng, Yan Zhou, Lan Cheng +8

An excellent candidate molecule for the measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM) is thorium monofluoride (ThF) because the eEDM-sensitive state, , is…

Broadband velocity modulation spectroscopy of ThF for use in a measurement of the electron electric dipole moment

Daniel N. Gresh, Kevin C. Cossel, Yan Zhou +2

A number of extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics predict a permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) in the range of the current experimental limits.…
