P and T Violation From Certain Dimension Eight Weinberg Operators

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-12-30 v1

Abstract

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 violating phenomena such as small ``wrong'' parity admixtures in atomic states and find that they are negligible. Uses harvmac.tex and epsf.tex; one figure submitted as a uuencoded, compressed EPS file.
