Minimizing entanglement of sources of P,T-violation with complementary low-energy experiments — •Konstantin Gaul and Robert Berger — Fachbereich Chemie, Philipps-Universität Marburg,Hans-Meerwein-Straße 4, 35032 Marburg, Germany

The detection of an atomic or molecular P,T-odd electric dipole moment (EDM) would be a direct evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Internal enhancement effects render atoms and molecules very promising candidates for a first direct detection of P,T-violation. The EDM of an atom or molecule stems from various fundamental sources of P,T-violation, such as P,T-odd currents or EDMs of elementary particles [1]. Therefore, interpretations and predictions of EDMs are difficult and several experiments are required for a global model-independent analysis of the results [2]. In this contribution all sources of the P,T-odd EDMs of atoms and molecules are studied within a simple qualitative electronic-structure model in terms of electronic and nuclear angular momenta and the nuclear charge number. For comparison accurate calculations of the electronic structure parameters [3] of most experimentally relevant atoms and molecules are performed and selection of good candidates for future experiments is discussed in the light of minimizing the coverage region in the global P,T-odd parameter space.
