The metastable Q state of ThO: A new resource for the ACME electron EDM search
Xing Wu, Zhen Han, James Chow +7
The best upper limit for the electron electric dipole moment was recently set by the ACME collaboration. This experiment measures an electron spin-precession in a cold beam of ThO…

An Underappreciated Radiation Hazard from High Voltage Electrodes in Vacuum
Adam West, Zack Lasner, David DeMille +6
The use of high voltage (HV) electrodes in vacuum is commonplace in physics laboratories. In such systems, it has long been known that electron emission from an HV cathode can lead…

STIRAP preparation of a coherent superposition of ThO states for an improved electron EDM measurement
C. D. Panda, B. R. O'Leary, A. D. West +9
Experimental searches for the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) probe new physics beyond the Standard Model. The current best EDM limit was set by the ACME Collaboration [Scien…
