A Lower Bound on the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment in the Weinberg Ansatz for Cp Violation*
نویسنده
چکیده
We deduce a lower limit on the neutron electric dipole moment in the. Weinberg ansatz for CP violation. The resulting number is comparable to the existing experimental upper limit; this ansatz will therefore be critically tested by the next round of experiments using ultra-cold neutrons.

P and T violation from certain dimension-eight Weinberg operators.
Dimension eight operators of the Weinberg type have been shown to give important contributions to CP violating phenomena, such as the electric dipole moment of the neutron. In this note we show how operators related to these (and expected to occur on equal footing) can give rise to time-reversal violating phenomena such as atomic electric dipole moments. We also estimate the induced parity viol...
متن کاملNeutron Electric Dipole Moment in the Gauge-Higgs Unification
We study the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) in a five dimensional SU(3) gauge-Higgs unification compactified on M × S/Z2 space-time including a massive fermion. We point out that to realize the CP violation is a non-trivial task in the gauge-Higgs unification scenario and argue how the CP symmetry is broken spontaneously by the VEV of the Higgs, the extra space component of the gauge fiel...
متن کاملNeutron electric dipole moment in a supersymmetric model with singlet quarks
The neutron electric dipole moment is investigated in a supersymmetric electroweak model admitting SU(2)W singlet and Q = −1/3, say D-type, quarks. Significant CP violating phases appear in the coupling between the singlet D-type quarks and the ordinary d-type quarks. Then, through the d-D mixing effects on the squark mass terms the gluino one-loop diagrams provide naturally the contributions ∼...
متن کاملLimits on CP Violation from Electric Dipole Moments
Searches for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) provide a unique constraint on violation of CP symmetry beyond the Standard Model. Recent experiments improved the limits on EDMs of Hg and the electron. Combined with the limit on the neutron EDM and recent advances in theoretical interpretation, they set very tight constraints on CP violation in Supersymmetry. Many new experimental ideas a...
متن کاملCern{th/96{18 Implications of the Strange Spin of the Nucleon for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment in Supersymmetric Theories
Supersymmetric model contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment arise via quark electric dipole moment operators, whose matrix elements are usually calculated using the Naive Quark Model (NQM). However, experiments indicate that the NQM does not describe well the quark contributions q to the nucleon spin, and so may provide misleading estimates of electric dipole operator matrix elemen...
