Enhanced $mathcal{P,T}$-violating nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment effects in laser-coolable molecules


Abstract in English

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.
