Abstract
We report the results of a new experimental search for a permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg utilizing a stack of four vapor cells. We find d(199Hg)=(0.49+/-1.29_{stat}+/-0.76_{syst})x10;{-29} e cm, and interpret this as a new upper bound, |d(199Hg)|<3.1x10;{-29} e cm (95% C.L.). This result improves our previous 199Hg limit by a factor of 7, and can be used to set new constraints on CP violation in physics beyond the standard model.Year: 2009 PMID: 19392101 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.101601
