摘要
The a(1) state of PbO can be used to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron d(e). We discuss a semiempirical model for this state, which yields an estimate of the effective electric field on the valence electrons in PbO. Our final result is a lower limit on the measurable energy shift, which is significantly larger than was anticipated earlier: 2\W-d\d(e)greater than or equal to2.4x10(25) Hz[d(e/e cm)].
