description

A $CP$-violating interaction of the nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment (MQM) with electrons in the ytterbium monohydroxide molecule $^{173}\mathrm{YbOH}$ is considered. Both the MQM of the $^{173}\mathrm{Yb}$ nucleus and the molecular interaction constant ${W}_{M}$ are estimated. Electron correlation effects are taken into account within the relativistic Fock-space coupled-cluster method. Results are interpreted in terms of the strength constants of $CP$-violating nuclear forces, neutron dipole moment (EDM), QCD vacuum angle $\ensuremath{\theta}$, quark EDMs, and chromo-EDMs.
