Study of systematic effects in the HfF$^+$ ion experiment to search for the electron electric dipole moment

Abstract

The energy splitings for $J = 1$, $F=3/2$, $|M_F|=3/2$ hyperfine levels of the $^3\Delta_1$ electronic state of $^{180}$Hf$^{19}$F$^+$ ion are calculated as functions of the external variable electric and magnetic fields within two approaches. In the first one transition to the rotating frame is performed, whereas in the second approach the quantization of rotating electromagnetic field is performed. Calculations are required for understanding possible systematic errors in the experiment to search for electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) on $^{180}$Hf$^{19}$F$^+$ ion.
