AB  - Heavy diatomic 2Σ or 2Π molecules were considered to be spectaculary sensitive systems to search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. To devise a molecular beam experiment using this kind of molecule, a variety of candidate molecules were considered. The YbF compound was chosen at the molecular beam and the production and detection methods for the molecules were studied. Several chemical mixtures were utilized to measure YbF production efficiency. Using both the hot wire and laser induced fluorescence, YbF was detected. Narrow linewidth of the crossed laser molecular beam apparatus was utilized to determine the spin-rotation and hyperfine splitting constants of the YbF molecule.
