JILA’s search for the electron’s electric dipole moment: a novel approach to searches for new physics

ORAL

Abstract

We are probing TeV-scale physics with a unique tabletop experiment which combines trapped molecular ions, rotating bias fields, orientation-resolved detection, and over a dozen lasers to both measure the electron’s electric dipole moment and constrain potential dark matter candidates. In this talk I will introduce the essence of our measurement as well as our methods for constraining both dark matter and parity-violating physics.
