Experiment to search for P - and T -violating interactions in the hyperfine structure of thallium fluoride

Experiment to search for P - and T -violating interactions in the hyperfine structure of thallium... The authors describe a molecular-beam-resonance experiment to search for P - and T -violating interactions in the thallium fluoride molecule. Specifically the interactions looked for are of the form H PT = d σ ^ Tl · λ ^ TlF , where d is a coupling constant, σ ^ Tl is a unit vector parallel to the spin angular momentum of the thallium nucleus, and λ ^ TlF is a unit vector along the internuclear axis. The null result of the experiment is d h = 11 ± 42 mHz. This result implies new upper limits on the electric dipole moment of the proton and on a possible weak, P - and T -violating, neutral-current tensor interaction. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review A American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

The authors describe a molecular-beam-resonance experiment to search for P - and T -violating interactions in the thallium fluoride molecule. Specifically the interactions looked for are of the form H PT = d σ ^ Tl · λ ^ TlF , where d is a coupling constant, σ ^ Tl is a unit vector parallel to the spin angular momentum of the thallium nucleus, and λ ^ TlF is a unit vector along the internuclear axis. The null result of the experiment is d h = 11 ± 42 mHz. This result implies new upper limits on the electric dipole moment of the proton and on a possible weak, P - and T -violating, neutral-current tensor interaction.
