Description
We present a new experiment to measure the Schiff Moment of 229ThF+ molecular ions. Th-229 has a potentially large Schiff Moment from the octupole deformation. The ions are efficiently available by α-recoil from U-233. ThF+’s electronic structure is well known from JILA’s studies. By combining the efficient ion manipulation techniques, we hope to overcome the rare amount of radioactive species.
