Electrostatic focusing of cold and heavy molecules for the ACME electron EDM search

The current best upper limit for electron electric dipole moment (EDM), | d _e | < 1.1 × 10 ^−29 e cm (90% confidence), was set by the ACME Collaboration in 2018. The ACME experiment uses a spin-precession measurement in a cold beam of thorium monoxide (ThO) molecules to detect d _e . An improvem...
