Study of electronic structure of ytterbium monohydroxide molecule to search for axionlike particles
2020
Recently the YbOH molecule has been suggested as a candidate to search for the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) which violates spatial parity (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetries [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 133002 (2017)]. In the present paper we show that the same system can be used to measure coupling constants of the interaction of electrons and nucleus with axionlike particles. The electron-nucleus interaction produced by the axion exchange induces T,P-violating a EDM of the whole molecular system. We express the corresponding T,P-violating energy shift produced by this effect in terms of the axion mass and product of the axion-nucleus and axion-electron coupling constants.
