A survey of nuclear quadrupole deformation in order to estimate the nuclear MQM and its relative contribution to the atomic EDM
arxiv(2024)
摘要
New sources of charge-parity (CP) violation, beyond the known sources in the
standard model (SM), are required to explain the baryon asymmetry of the
universe. Measurement of a non-zero permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) in
fundamental particles, such as in an electron or a neutron, or in nuclei or
atoms, can help us gain a handle on the sources of CP violation, both in the SM
and beyond. The nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment (MQM), the central topic of
this work, is also CP, P, and T violating. Nucleons and nuclei have a non-zero
MQM from sources within the SM, but the nuclear MQM is dramatically enhanced if
the nuclei are structurally quadrupole deformed. Multiple sources contribute to
an atomic EDM viz. (i) nuclear EDM through its Schiff moment, which is
enhanced by nuclear octupole deformation, (ii) CP violating interactions
between the electrons and the nuclei, and (iii) the nuclear MQM that
contributes to the atomic EDM in atoms with an unpaired valence electron. Our
survey of nuclear quadrupole deformation has identified ^151Nd, ^153Pm,
^153Sm, ^157Ho, ^163,165Er, ^161,168Tm, ^167Yb, ^169Hf,
^171,180Ta, ^173,175,177,179,180Re, ^190,192Ir, ^188Au,
^223,225Fr, ^223,227,229,231Ra, ^223,225,227,229Ac, ^229,231Th,
^229,231,233,235Pa, ^235U, ^233,235,237,238,239Np, ^237Pu, and
^239,241,242,243,245Am as ideal systems in which to search for a CP
violating EDM via their enhanced nuclear MQM, while ^223,225Fr, ^223Ra,
^223,225,227Ac, ^229Th, and ^229Pa also have maximally enhanced
nuclear Schiff moment contribution due to their octupole deformation. Laser
cooling of the isotopes of Er, Tm, Yb, Fr, and Ra has already been
demonstrated, making ^223,225Fr and ^223Ra some of the best systems in
which to measure an EDM.
