The current constraint on the electron electric dipole moment ($e$EDM), $|d_e|<4.1\times 10^{-30}$ ${e {\cdotp} {\rm cm}}$ (90\% confidence), was recently established using the trapped $^{180}$Hf$^{19}$F$^+$ molecular ions in the $J=1$…

We reexamine the estimate of the neutron Electric Dipole Moment (NEDM) from chiral and QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) approaches. In the former, we evaluate the pion mass corrections which are about 5% of the leading Log. results. However,…

The radioactive radium-225 ($^{225}$Ra) atom is a favorable case to search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM). Due to its strong nuclear octupole deformation and large atomic mass, $^{225}$Ra is particularly sensitive to…
Misplacement of electrostatic elements can pose false EDM signal in a storage ring EDM experiment because of coupling between vertical electric field and magnetic dipole moment. A vertically misplaced quadrupole introduces electric field…
