Present limit on the electron electric dipole moment ($e$EDM) is based on the electron spin precession measurement. We propose an alternative approach - observation of the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect in an external electric field on atoms and molecules using cavity-enhanced polarimetric scheme in combination with molecular (atomic) beam crossing the cavity. Our calculations of the effective electric fields and theoretical simulation of the proposed experiment on Tl and Pb atoms, PbF, YbF, ThO, and YbOH show that the present limit on the $e$EDM can be improved by 6-7 orders of magnitude.

Accurate evaluation of the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect (rotation of the polarization plane for the light propagating through a medium in presence of an external electric field) is presented. This effect can arise only due to the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd interactions and is different from the ordinary Faraday effect, i.e. the light polarization plane rotation in an external magnetic field. The rotation angle is evaluated for the ICAS (intracavity absorption spectroscopy) type experiments with Xe and Hg atoms. The results show that Hg atom may become a good candidate for a search for the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd effects in atomic physics.
The present constraint on the space parity ($mathcal{P}$) and time reflection invariance ($mathcal{T}$) violating electron electric dipole moment ($e$EDM) is based on the observation of the electron spin precession in an external electric field using the ThO molecule. We propose an alternative approach: observation of the $mathcal{P}$,~$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect in an external electric field using the cavity-enhanced polarimetric scheme in combination with a molecular beam crossing the cavity. Our theoretical simulation of the proposed experiment with the PbF and ThO molecular beams shows that the present constraint on the $e$EDM in principle can be improved by a few orders of magnitude.
Triatomic molecule RaOH combines the advantages of laser-coolability and the spectrum with close opposite-parity doublets. This makes it a promising candidate for experimental study of the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-violation. Previous studies concentrated on the calculations for different geometries without the averaging over the rovibrational wave function and stressed the possibility that the dependence of the $mathcal{P}$, $mathcal{T}$ parameters on the bond angle may significantly alter the observed value. We obtain the rovibrational wave functions of RaOH in the ground electronic state and excited vibrational state using the close-coupled equations derived from the adiabatic Hamiltonian. The potential surface is constructed based on the two-component relativistic CCSD(T) computation employing the generalized relativistic effective core potential (GRECP) for the Radium atom. The averaged values of the parameters $E_{rm eff}$ and $E_s$ describing the sensitivity of the system to the electron electric dipole moment and the scalar-pseudoscalar nucleon-electron interaction are calculated and the value of $l$-doubling is obtained.
The spectrum of triatomic molecules with close rovibrational opposite parity levels is sensitive to the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd effects. This makes them a convenient platform for the experimental search of a new physics. Among the promising candidates one may distinguish the YbOH as a non-radioactive compound with a heavy atom. The energy gap between levels of opposite parity, $l$-doubling, is of a great interest as it determines the electric field strength required for the full polarization of the molecule. Likewise, the influence of the bending and stretching modes on the sensitivities to the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-violation requires a thorough investigation since the measurement would be performed on the excited vibrational states. This motivates us to obtain the rovibrational nuclear wavefunctions, taking into account the anharmonicity of the potential. As a result, we get the values of the $E_{rm eff}$ and $E_s$ for the lowest excited vibrational state and determine the $l$-doubling
Nuclear magnetic quadrupole moments (MQMs), like intrinsic electric dipole moments of elementary particles, violate both parity and time-reversal symmetry and therefore probe physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. We report on accurate relativistic coupled cluster calculations of the nuclear MQM interaction constants in BaF, YbF, BaOH, and YbOH. We elaborate on estimates of the uncertainty of our results. The implications of experiments searching for nonzero nuclear MQMs are discussed.
