Abstract

The current constraint on the electron electric dipole moment (eeEDM), de<4.1×1030|d_e|<4.1\times 10^{-30} ecm{e {\cdotp} {\rm cm}} (90\% confidence), was recently established using the trapped 180^{180}Hf19^{19}F+^+ molecular ions in the J=1J=1 rotational level of its 3Δ1 ^3\Delta_1 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 Ω\Omega-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.
