Internship and thesis proposals
Precision laser spectroscopy of ThO molecules for testing fundamental symmetries

Domaines
Nuclear physics and Nuclear astrophysics

Type of internship
Expérimental
Description
Measurements of electric dipole moment (EDM) of fundamental particles place the most stringent constrains on time-reversal violating new physics beyond Standard Model. Precision spectroscopy on cold 232ThO neutral molecules provides one of the best bounds on electron electric dipole moment. In addition, 227ThO neutral molecules provides excellent opportunity to search for nuclear Schiff moment. In this project, the student will be developing the laser and optics system for performing precision spectroscopy measurement on cold ThO molecules. The project will also involve development of the vacuum beamline and cryogenic system necessary to produce the ThO molecules. The registration for the internship must be done on the website: https://npa.in2p3.fr/summer-training-program/
