Abstract The technique of an active nuclear spin maser is adopted in the search for electric dipole moment in a diamagnetic atom 129 Xe. In order to reduce systematic uncertainties arising from long-term drifts of the external magnetic field and from the contact interaction between longitudinal polarized Rb atoms and 129 Xe spin, a 3 He comagnetometer with a Proceedings of the 5th Joint International Conference on Hyperfine Interactions and International Symposium on Nuclear Quadrupole Interactions (HFI/NQI 2014) Canberra, Australia, 21-26 September 2014 T.

double-cell geometry was employed. The remaining shift, which turned out to show some correlation with the cell temperature, was mitigated by stabilizing the cell temperature. As a result, the frequency drift of the 129 Xe maser was reduced from 12 mHz to 700 μHz, and the determination precision of frequency of 8.7 nHz was obtained for a 2 × 104 s measurement time using the double-cell geometry cell. Keywords Electric dipole moment · Nuclear spin maser · Fundamental symmetry 1 Introduction The search of a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) is one of the most promising ways to explore new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles. Since predicted values for the EDM in the SM are too small to detect in current experimental techniques, discovery of a finite value of EDM would strongly indicate existence of physics beyond the SM. At present, the most stringent upper limit on the EDM in diamagnetic atom is set by the 199 Hg experiment [1] as |d(199 Hg)| < 0.31 × 10−28 ecm. The EDM of a diamagnetic atom primarily arises from a CP-odd nuclear moment, the Schiff mom
