Limit on the nuclear Schiff moment of europium-153
Bassam Nima, Mingyu Fan, Xubo Wang +6
The Schiff moment of a nucleus is a symmetry-violating nuclear moment that indicates new physics beyond the Standard Model. We place the limit, Eu)$| < 1.7 \…
Narrowline Laser Cooling and Spectroscopy of Molecules via Stark States
Kameron Mehling, Justin J. Burau, Logan E. Hillberry +5
The electronic energy level structure of yttrium monoxide (YO) provides a long-lived, low-lying state ideal for high-precision molecular spectroscopy, narrowline laser coo…
Production and spectroscopy of cold radioactive molecules
Chandler J. Conn, Phelan Yu, Madison I. Howard +8
Molecules with heavy, radioactive nuclei promise extreme sensitivity to fundamental nuclear and particle physics. However, these nuclei are available in limited quantities, which c…
Nuclear Electric Quadrupole Moment-Induced Parity Doubling in Molecules for Symmetry-Violation Searches
Xing Fan, Lan Cheng
Searches for the nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment (MQM) and nuclear Schiff moment (NSM) have high discovery potential for violations of time () and parity () reversal symme…
Unconventional Chemical Bonding of Lanthanide-OH Molecules
Jacek KÅos, Eite Tiesinga, Lan Cheng +1
We present a theoretical study of the low lying adiabatic relativistic electronic states of lanthanide monohydroxide (Ln-OH) molecules near their linear equilibrium geometries. We…
