Abstract

We study the nuclear Schiff moments of 129^{129}Xe and 199^{199}Hg induced by the nucleon electric dipole moment using large-scale shell model calculations. For 129^{129}Xe, we find a linear relation between the leading-order contribution and magnetic moment, which would be useful in reducing the theoretical uncertainty. The conventional model space does not contain the 0g9/2 0g_{ 9/2 } and 0h9/2 0h_{ 9/2 } orbitals, which are connected to the spin-orbit partners by large matrix elements. Thus, to evaluate the influence of the relevant single-particle orbitals outside the conventional model space, we apply the quasiparticle vacua shell model method. Moreover, the next-to-leading-order contribution arises from parity and time-reversal violation inside the nucleus. We demonstrate that these secondary effects do not induce any significant disturbance to the correlation. Additionally, we report the shell model results for the nuclear Schiff moment coefficients of 199^{199}Hg. Compared to previous studies, the results obtained in this study are rather large, indicating a higher sensitivity to the neutron electric dipole moment.
