Chem. , Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Goals: permanent electric dipole momentsa Franck-Condon prediction/intensity lifetime Outline Experimental setup Analysis/Results Observation-Spectra a. Dispersed Fluorescence b. Lifetime (Decay curve) c. Stark Discussion Motivation Summary aF. Wang, A. Lee, T.C.Steimle and M.C. Heaven, J.Chem. Phys, 134, 031102(2011) Motivation Needed in scheme to test of elementary particle physics beyond the Standard Model via measurement of electric dipole moment of electron, de. Chemist’s view of an electron: Point Charge Physists view of an electron: Point Charge with distribution Dipole moment of an electron, de Experimental limita: |de| 1.6?10-27 e?cm aB. Regan, E. Commins, C. Schmidt, D. DeMille, PRL 88, 071805 (2002) Based on thallium atom. Note dipole moment of HCl ?6 D= 1.2?10-8?e.cm How big is de? Standard Model de~10-41 e·cm 10-19 times smaller Amplifying the electric field Eint with a polar molecule Why ThO? Energy= -Eint?de Eint= electric field near the nucleus Small W-doubling The W=1 component of the 3D state is non-magnetic. Heavy polar molecular: Smaller systematic errors The metastable H3D1 state: Eint ~ ?2Z3 e/a02 ~ 100 GV/cm a: Polarizability factor Z: Atomic number complete polarization with very small fields Experimental Setup Laser ablation source and supersonic expansion, Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) detector Well collimated molecular beam Metal target(Th foil) Pulse valve skimmer Ablation laser O2 Ar(carrier gas) Pulsed dye laser Single freq. tunable laser radiation Fluorescence PMT Monochromator PMT Stark plates Optical Stark spectroscopy Excitation spectra High resolution spectra Thorium fo
