Quark Loop Contribution to Neutron EDM from R-parity Violation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a detailed analysis together with numerical calculations on one-loop contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment from supersymmetry without R parity, focusing on the quark-scalar loop contributions. Complete formulas are given for the various contributions through the quark dipole operators. Analytical expressions illustrating the explicit role of the R-parity violating parameters are given following perturbative diagonalization of mass-squared matrices for the scalars. Dominant contributions come from the combinations Biλij1B_i^{\ast} \lambda^{\prime}_{ij1} for which we obtain robust bounds. Even if the R-parity violating couplings are real, CKM phase does induce RPV contribution and for some cases such a contribution is as strong as contribution from phases in the R-parity violating couplings. Hence, we have bounds directly on Bi\lij1|B_i^{\ast} \l^{\prime}_{ij1}| even if the parameters are all real.
