EDM with Molecular Ions

EDM with Molecular Ions

The purpose of this experiment is to make a precision measurement of the electic dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. Because a finite electron EDM violates time symmetry, and thus by the CPT theorem violates CP symmetry as well, a precision upper bound on an electron EDM constrains modelbuilders. In this experiment we use trapped HfF+ molecular ions and use the intermolecular electric field to greatly enhance a potential electron EDM signal.

I work on the third generation eEDM project using ThF+ in collaboration with Eric Cornell and Jun Ye. I received my Bachelors at the National University of Singapore.
