Abstract

Recent experimentation has revealed a discrepancy between the calculated and actual hyperfine structure of the 207Pb19F molecule. This discrepancy has been attributed to a misrepresentation of the parity for the ground-state PbF molecule. In a previously published work, we derived a formula for the electric-field-dependent g factor of the ground-state PbF molecule with the misassigned parity. In this Addendum, we reformulate that work and derive the g factor based on the corrected ground state. We discuss the impact of the corrected g factor of the PbF molecule and conclude that the PbF molecule has a g factor which can be small enough to perform an experiment sensitive to the electron's electric dipole moment.
