Many systems are used to search for a non-zero electric dipole moment such as atoms, molecules or neutron. The existence of static T-odd and P-odd moments of a nucleus can arise from T and P violating nucleon-nucleon interactions. Measuring the EDM of an atom, the sensitivity on those interactions depends on the nuclear structure. In particular pear-shaped nuclei are predicted to be good candidates.

Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles are good candidates to search for the combined charge conjugation and parity symmetry (CP) violation. At the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center at Tohoku University, an experiment to search for the EDM of the electron using francium (Fr) atoms is promoted. The progress and the present status of the facility will be presented.

Polar diatomic molecules such as ThO and ThF+ are promising systems in the search of the electron Electric Dipole Moment, a possible probe of new physics beyond the Standard Model.
We employ a relativistic 4-component Configuration Interaction approach to obtain the theoretical input needed by the eEDM
experiment (Eeff) as well as other P and T- odd properties and the hyperfine interaction...
