| Research Abstract |
The present study aims at a high-precision search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of 129Xe atom which, if finite, would provide a clear evidence for the presence of new physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles. To this end, an active feedback nuclear spin maser, of which the present research group had contrived an idea and made a proof-of-principle experiment, was brought into operation for the precession frequency determination. Developments were done on the field current stabilization, magnetic shielding and environmental field compensation, and as a result the frequency precision of 7.9 nHz was achieved which would correspond to a factor of 5 improvement in the EDM sensitivity. In addition, a co-magnetometer taking advantage of simultaneous masing of 3He spins was successfully incorporated to the 129Xe maser system. By uniting all these achievements together, the basis for the 129Xe EDM search experiment will soon be established.
