Revisited T, P-odd spin-rotational Hamiltonian of HfF+ for precise eEDM measurements
Abstract
The current constraint on the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM), |de|<4.1× 10-30 e ·p cm (90\% confidence), was recently established using the trapped 180Hf19F+ molecular ions in the J=1 rotational level of its 31 electronic state [T. S. Roussy, L. Caldwell, T. Wright, et al., arxiv:2212.11841]. The extensive experimental study of the HfF+ cation provides detailed spectroscopy of the -doublet levels in the external rotating electric and magnetic fields. We showed that previously developed theoretical approaches can fully reproduce the latest experimental data. Their justification from the first principles is very important for the examination of both modern molecular theory and possible systematic uncertainties in the interpretation of the experimental data obtained with high accuracy.
