Summary on Grant Application Form |

This proposal is for a visiting fellowship for Dr M Kozlov to come to Sussex to work on the theory of symmetry-violating effects in heavy molecules due for example to the electric dipole moment of the electron. He will extend the effective operator technique originally developed for heavy atoms with 2-4 electrons to the cases of rare earths and molecules. This will lead to an improved semi-empirical calculation of YbF. This is of particular interest as we are engaged in an EPSRC project to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron. An important question in the interpretation of our measurement concerns the role of correlations. It is our intention to explore correlations semi-empirically and to look for insights that may not be possible in the ab initio approach. This theoretical activity will significantly enhance the ongoing EPSRC project at Sussex.
