| Popis: |
We propose an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron using ultracold YbF molecules. The molecules are produced as a thermal beam by a cryogenic buffer gas source, and brought to rest in an optical molasses that cools them to the Doppler limit or below. The molecular cloud is then thrown upward to form a fountain in which the EDM of the electron is measured. A non-zero result would be unambiguous proof of new elementary particle interactions, beyond the standard model. |
