We report first ab initio relativistic correlation calculations of potential curves for ten low-lying electronic states, effective electric field on the electron and hyperfine constants for the ^3\Delta_1 state of cation of a heavy transition metal fluoride, HfF^+, that is suggested to be used as the working state in experiments to search for the electric dipole moment of the electron. It is shown that HfF^+ has deeply bound ^1\Sigma^+ ground state, its dissociation energy is D_e=6.4 eV. The ^3\Delta_1 state is obtained to be the relatively long-lived first excited state lying about 0.2 eV higher. The calculated effective electric field E_eff=W_d|\Omega| acting on an electron in this state is 5.84*10^{24}Hz/(e*cm)

  1. The EDM inverse problem: Identifying the sources of CP violation and PQ breaking with electric dipole moments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Six classes of CP-violating operators near the QCD scale produce distinct EDM patterns that enable discrimination of their origins and distinguish high-scale versus low-energy sources of the axion vacuum expectation value.
