摘要
The metastable excited state a(1)[(3)Sigma(+)] of PbO is proposed as a candidate system in which to search for an electron electric dipole moment (EDM). It is shown that the sensitivity to an electron EDM (d(e)) could reach 10(-31) e.cm-an improvement of >10(4) over the current limit. Observation of an electron EDM would provide definitive evidence for physics beyond the standard model, and many currently favored theories predict |d(e)| > 10(-31). The sensitivity of the proposed technique arises from a combination of several unique properties of PbO, which simultaneously provide a large EDM enhancement factor, narrow magnetic resonance lines, and high counting rates, The structure of the nearly degenerate Omega-doublet system in PbO permits the use of unique and powerful techniques for the rejection of systematic effects.
