Left-right symmetry and electric dipole moments. A global analysis

We perform a global fit using results of searches for electric dipole moments (EDM) of diamagnetic systems within the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. In this way, we disentangle the new "left-right" electroweak and $\bar{\theta}$ contributions that cannot be separated using a single EDM system. Although the fit is done for a specific model, the approach can be applied to any particle physics model. Finally, we revisit the constraint on the $D$ coefficient in $\beta$-decay and find that current EDM bounds do not preclude observation of this T-violating effect in a possible next generation $\beta$-decay experiment.
