Dihadron azimuthal asymmetry and light-quark dipole moments at the Electron-Ion Collider

Here, we propose a novel method to probe light-quark dipole moments by examining the azimuthal asymmetries between a collinear pair of hadrons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton scattering off an unpolarized proton target at the Electron-Ion Collider. These asymmetries provide a means to observe transversely polarized quarks, which arise exclusively from the interference between the dipole and the Standard Model interactions, thereby depending linearly on the dipole couplings. We demonstrate that this novel approach can enhance current constraints on light-quark dipole operators by an order of magnitude, free from contamination of other new physics effects. Furthermore, it allows for a simultaneous determination of both the real and imaginary parts of the dipole couplings, offering a new avenue for investigating potential CP-violating effects at high energies.

High-voltage and electrode system for a cryogenic experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment

The cryogenic approach to the search for the neutron electric dipole moment—performing the experiment in superfluid liquid helium—holds promise for a substantial increase in sensitivity, potentially enabling a sensitivity level of 10 −28 𝑒cm. A crucial component in realizing such an experiment is the high-voltage and electrode system capable of providing an electric field of 75 kV/cm. This, in turn, requires an electric potential of 635 kV to be applied to the high-voltage electrode, while simultaneously satisfying other experimental constraints, such as those on heat load and magnetic noise requirements. In this work, we describe the outcome of a comprehensive development program addressing these challenges. It outlines the system requirements, discusses new insights into relevant physical phenomena, and details selected technical solutions with their corresponding experimental demonstrations and expected performance. The results collectively demonstrate the successful development of the necessary technology for the high-voltage and electrode system for this approach.

Transverse spin effects and light-quark dipole moments at lepton colliders

We propose to probe light-quark dipole interactions at lepton colliders using the azimuthal asymmetry of a collinear dihadron pair (ℎ 1 ⁡ℎ 2 ) produced in association with another hadron ℎ′. This asymmetry, arising from quantum interference in the quark spin space, is exclusively sensitive to dipole interactions at the leading power of the new physics scale and simultaneously probes both the real and imaginary components of the dipole couplings. By combining all possible channels of ℎ′, this method allows for disentangling the up and down quark dipole moments and has the potential to significantly strengthen current constraints by one to two orders of magnitude.

Theoretical study of the dipole moment function of the X2Sigma(+) state of CN

The X2Sigma(+) state dipole moment function of CN is determined from accurate ab initio calculations. The calculated Einstein coefficient of 13.0 /s for the fundamental 1-0 vibrational band is in excellent agreement with the value measured by Treffers (1975) using a King furnace. The theoretical vibrational band strengths should be valuable in interpreting the fluorescence spectrum of CN in comets.

Theoretical study of the dipole moment of oxygen monofluoride (OF)

The ground-state potential curve and dipole-moment function of OF are calculated theoretically using the complete active-space self-consistent-field levels, externally contracted configuration-interaction levels, or multireference (singles plus doubles) configuration-interaction levels. Both an extended Gaussian basis set and a double-zeta-plus-polarization basis set were applied. The results are presented in extensive tables and graphs. Best results are achieved using a large Gaussian basis set and taking the valence-correlation energy into account. It is suggested that OF may best be detected by its laser-magnetic-resonance spectrum in the IR.

Global Dipole Moment Function for the X1 Sigma+ Ground State of CO

We have studied the dipole moment function (DMF) for the X(sup 1)Sigma(sup +) state of CO as a function of the completeness of the one- and n-particle treatments. Our best DMF is obtained using an augmented correlation-consistent quadruple-zeta basis set with external correlation included using the averaged-coupled-pair functional (ACPF) approach from a complete-active-space self-consistent-field zeroth-order reference. The DMF evaluated using the finite-field approach is in far better agreement with the experimentally deduced DMF than all previous theoretical determinations, but systematic differences still remain in the DMF at larger internuclear distances that give rise to significant discrepancies between the theoretical and experimental Einstein coefficients for transitions involving vibrational quantum numbers above about Upsilon=15.

Electric dipole moment of diatomic molecules by configuration interaction. V - Two states of /2/Sigma/+/ symmetry in CN.

Previous accurate dipole moment calculation techniques are modified to be applicable to higher excited states of symmetry. The self-consistent fields and configuration interactions are calculated for the X(2)Sigma(+) and B(2)Sigma(+) states of CN. Spin hyperfine constants and spin density at the nucleus are considered in the context of one-electron operator properties. The values of the self-consistent field and configuration interaction for the spin density are compared with experimental values for several diatomic molecules.

Ames-2021 CO 2 Dipole Moment Surface and IR Line Lists: Toward 0.1% Uncertainty for CO 2 IR Intensities

A highly accurate CO 2 ab initio dipole moment surface (DMS), Ames-2021, is reported along with 12 C 16 O 2 infrared (IR) intensity comparisons approaching a 1–4‰ level of agreement and uncertainty. The Ames-2021 DMS was accurately fitted from CCSD(T) finite-field dipoles computed with the aug-cc-pVXZ (X = T, Q, 5) basis for C atom and the d-aug-cc-pVXZ (X = T, Q, 5) basis for O atoms, and extrapolated to the one particle basis set limit. Fitting σ(rms) is 3.8 × 10^(–7) au for 4443 geometries below 15 000 per cm . The corresponding IR intensity, S Ames-2021 , are computed using the Ames-2 potential energy surface (PES), which is the best PES available for CO 2 . Compared to high accuracy IR studies for 2001i–00001 and 3001i–00001 bands, S Ames-2021 matches NIST experiment-based intensities [S NIST-HIT16 or S HIT20 ] to −1.0 ± 1.3‰, or matches DLR experiment-based intensities [S DLR-HIT16/UCL/Ames ] to 1.9 ± 3.7‰. This indicates the systematic deviations and uncertainties have been significantly reduced in S Ames-2021 . The S UCL2015 (or S HITRAN2016 ) have larger deviations (vs S DLR ) and uncertainties (vs S DLR , S NIST ) which are attributed to the less accurate Ames-1 PES adopted in UCL-296 line list calculation. The S Ames-2021 intensity of 12 C 16 O 2 and 13 C 16 O 2 is utilized to derive new absolute 13 C/ 12 C ratios for Vienna PeeDee Belemnite (VPDB) with uncertainty reduced by 1/3 or 2/3. Further evaluation of S Ames-2021 are carried out on those CO 2 bands discussed in the HITRAN2020 update paper. Consistent improvements and better accuracies are found in band-by-band analysis, except for those bands strongly affected by Coriolis couplings, or very weak bands measured with relatively larger experimental uncertainties. The Ames-2021 296 K IR line lists are generated for 13 CO 2 isotopologues, with 18,000 per and S 296K > 1E–31) cm/molecule cutoff and then combined with CDSD line positions (except 14 C 16 O 2 ). The Ames-2021 DMS and 296 K IR line lists represent a major improvement over previous CO 2 theoretical IR intensity studies, including Ames-2016, UCL-296, and recent UCL DMS 2021 update. A real 1 permille level of agreement and uncertainty will definitely require both more accurate PES and more accurate DMS.

The permanent electric dipole moment of CaOH

The X 2 Sigma(+), A 2Pi, and B 2Sigma(+) states of CaOH are characterized theoretically and experimentally, with a focus on the value of the permanent electric dipole moment (mu). Calculations based on SCF and SDCI studies of CaOH (Bauschlicher et al., 1984 and 1986) give mu values of 0.98, 0.49, and 0.11 D for the X, A, and B states, respectively, in good agreement with experiments in which the pure rotational spectra of these states were not detected. Modified Rittner (1951) and ligand-field models of these states are explored in detail, and the applicability of these results to observational searches for CaOH in circumstellar envelopes is indicated.

Experimental Determination of the Electric Dipole Moment Function of the X Pi-2 Hydroxyl Radical

Laboratory infrared emission spectra of X 2piOH obtained with the Solar McMath FTS and the U. Paris (Orsay) FTS are used in an inversion procedure to experimentally determine the electric dipole moment function (EDMF) of the hydroxyl radical. The spectra produced at Kitt Peak show vibrational levels up to v = 10 and rotational lines in the range, -25.5 less than or equal to m less than or equal to 12.5. The following vibrational quantum number ranges were observed: for DELTA v = -1, v prime = 1 - 9, for DELTA v = -2, v prime = 2 - 10, and for DELTA v = - 3, v prime = 6 - 10. The spectra produced at Orsay show DELTA v = -1, with v prime = 1 - 4 and -22.5 less than or equal to m less than or equal to 9.5 as well as DELTA v = 0, with v prime= 1 - 3, and 9.5 less than or equal to m less than or equal to 25.5. The OH rovibrational wavefunctions used in the inversion procedure were calculated using a procedure which reproduces observed rotational constants with a high level of accuracy. Comparisons of our EDMF are made with previous experimental and theoretical work.
