The observation of an electron electric-dipole moment EEDM would have major ramifications for the standard model of physics. Polar molecules offer a near-ideal laboratory for such searches due to the large effective electric field Feff , on order of tens of GV/cm that can be easily oriented in the laboratory frame. We present an improved method for simply and accurately determining Feff, in a h...

The possible existence of a nonzero electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron is of great fundamental interest in itself and directly impacts our understanding of the nature of electro-weak and strong interactions. The experimental search for this moment has the potential to reveal new sources of T and CP violation and to challenge calculations that propose extensions to the Standard Model. T...

We describe the finite volume effects of CP-odd quantities, such as the neutron electric dipole moment and the anapole moment in the θ-vacuum, under different topological sectors. We evaluate the three-point Green’s functions for the electromagnetic current in a fixed non-trivial topological sector in order to extract these CP-odd observables. We discuss the role of zero modes in the CP-odd Gre...

A DFT study of the electronic properties of ansa-titanocene dichloride is reported. Molecular orbital analysis, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, thermodynamic analysis and natural bond orbital (NBO) theory are the main aim of the present research. The computed structural parameters show a good agreement with the similar experimental results. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that c...

We carry out a feasibility study toward a lattice QCD calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in the presence of the θ term using two different approaches. In the first method, we calculate the CP-odd electromagnetic form factor F3, which becomes the NEDM in the zero momentum transfer limit. At the first order in θ , we derive a formula connecting the lattice three-point functi...

I present an exact relationship between the electric dipole moment and anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon in the light-front formalism of QCD and consider its consequences.

1 Problem The interaction energy of an electric charge q and a " point " electric dipole with moment p of fixed magnitude, both at rest, is, in Gaussian units,

The DC electric susceptibilities of unsolvated glycine-based peptides, WGn (W = tryptophan and G = glycine) with n = 1-5, have been measured by deflection of a molecular beam in an electric field. These are the first electric deflection measurements performed on peptides. At 300 K the susceptibilities are in the range of 200-400 A(3). By far the largest contribution to the susceptibilities is f...
