  1. Search for the Electron Electric Dipole Moment Experiment: D.DeMille, D. Kawall, R.Paolino, V. Prasad F. Bay, S. Bickman, P.Hamilton, Y. Jiang, Y.Gurevich Yale University L.R.Hunter (Amherst) Theory: M. Kozlov (PNPI, St. Petersburg), D. DeMille Val Prasad Yale University

  2. D S An EDM Violates Parity and Time Reversal Symmetries and may provide evidence of new physics P T look different after P reversal look different after T reversal T-violation: a window to new physics CPT theorem T-violation = CP-violation

  3. e e Feynman Diagram not renormalizable  loop diagrams

  6. Schiff’s theorem Cannot apply an electric field to a free electron for long times Use a neutral object (atoms, molecules) Near nucleus, v, E,  large + substantial amplitude for valence e-: r ~ a0/Z; v ~ Zc; E ~ Ze/r2; B ~ea0; (0) ~Z1/2 |<Eeff>|  Z32 (e/a02)  P

  16. Quantum Beats • Coherent superposition of two states decaying to the same state • Precession frequency proportional to energy difference between states • Allows for Doppler free, very precise spectroscopy (<1mHz) y x

  17. Systematics Considerations • Motional Magnetic Fields • Magnetic Noise • Leakage Currents • Multi-photon ionization • E-field gradients • Inhomogeneities in E-field • Stray B-fields and E-fields

  18. g-factor measurement To what extent is the - doublet a perfect mirror image? -doublet useful as Co-Magnetometer  Results help constrain calculation of enhancement-factor
