We are proposing a new method to carry out a dedicated search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon with a sensitivity at a level of 10-24e · cm in both statistics and systematics. This will make the sensitivity of the EDM experiment to non-standard physics better than the sensitivity of the present muon g-2 experiment, assuming the CP violating phase of the probed physics is of order one. The experimental design exploits the strong motional electric field sensed by relativistic particles in a magnetic storage ring.1,2 As a key feature, a novel technique has been invented in which the g-2 precession is compensated with a radial electric field.

The absorption spectrum of the ν = 1 ← 0 band of HD has been investigated at a temperature of 77 K and for densities in the range of 15 to 140 amagat. The band consists of two components: a broad collision-induced quasi continuum arising from dipoles induced during molecular collisions; and a dipole-allowed part arising from the small permanent electric dipole moment of the free HD molecule. The interference effects which occur between these two components were studied for the dipole-allowed R1(0) and R1(1) transitions. These transitions exhibited increasingly large asymmetries and changes in intensity at high density, but their behaviours were quite different from each other. The shape of each transition could be well represented by a series of Fano line profiles, and the evolution of shape and intensity with density could be accounted for by the formulation of Herman, Tipping, and Poll. However, the precise interpretation of the phase shift parameters arising in the theory is not clear.

AbstractThe rotation of a spherical particle in a constant electric field (an effect found earlier) has been analyzed. The particle is illuminated to induce the electric dipole moment of the sphere. The dynamics of the rotation effect has been considered in general terms to refine conditions for adiabatic rotation. The features of the particle’s nonadiabatic rotation have been demonstrated with a sphere placed in a medium with an infinitesimal viscosity. It has been shown that the nonadiabatic rotation dynamics to a great extent depends on a relationship between the electrical and photoinduced dipole moments of the sphere. The rotation dynamics of a particle with a slightly nonspherical shape has been briefly analyzed.

In the paper the concept of conductive particle rotation in DC electric field with including the Lorentz force providing generation of electric dipole moment of the particle is for the first time discussed. Some models of the torque transfer to spherical and cylindrical particles based on of the Hall effect at usual geometry and with additional electric field application and also in the case of implementation of the photoelectromagnetic effect are presented.
