As a heavy molecule, barium monofluoride (BaF) presents itself as a promising candidate for
measuring permanent electric dipole moment. Here we report the realization of three …

Molecules containing heavy radioactive nuclei are predicted to be extremely sensitive to
violations of the fundamental symmetries of nature. The nuclear octupole deformation of …

Isotope shifts of Ra 223–226, 228 F 19 were measured for different vibrational levels in the
electronic transition A 2 Π 1/2← X 2 Σ+. The observed isotope shifts demonstrate the …

Precision measurements of Schiff moments in heavy, deformed nuclei are sensitive probes
of beyond standard model T, P violation in the hadronic sector. While the most stringent …

Currently, there is great interest in laser cooling of barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules for
precision tests of fundamental symmetries. We use high-resolution absorption spectroscopy …

The CERN-MEDICIS (MEDical Isotopes Collected from ISolde) facility has delivered its first
radioactive ion beam at CERN (Switzerland) in December 2017 to support the research and …
