We review the physics case for CP-violating axions. In the first part, we focus on the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) axion and argue that new sources of CP violation beyond QCD misalign the axion solution to the strong CP problem and can…

Contributions of a spin 0 axion-like particle (ALP) to lepton dipole moments, g-2 and EDMs, are examined. Barr-Zee and light-by-light loop effects from a light pseudoscalar ALP are found to be capable of resolving the long-standing muon g-2…
The couplings of axion-like particles (ALPs) to Standard Model fermions are proportional to the fermion masses, making the interaction with the top quark particularly significant. In this study, we consider an ALP that is a mixture of…

The searches for CP violating effects in diatomic molecules, such as $\text{HfF}^+$ and ThO, are typically interpreted as a probe of the electron's electric dipole moment ($e\text{EDM}$), a new electron-nucleon interaction, and a new…

The francium atom is considered as a prospective candidate system to search for the T,P-violating electron electric dipole moment [T. Aoki et al Quantum Sci. Technol. 6, 044008 (2021)]. We demonstrate that the same experiment can be used…

A permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of a particle or system is a separation of charge along its angular-momentum axis and is a direct signal of T-violation and, assuming CPT symmetry, CP violation. For over sixty years EDMs have been…
Searches for the permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of molecules, atoms, nucleons and nuclei provide powerful probes of CP violation both within and beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The interpretation of experimental EDM limits…
Searches for intrinsic electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nucleons, atoms and molecules are precision flavor-diagonal probes of new $CP$-odd physics, as motivated by the need to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. We…
Electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles and atoms probe violations of T and P symmetries and consequently of CP if CPT is an exact symmetry. We point out that EDMs can also serve as sensitive probes of CPT-odd, CP-even…
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated low-energy relics of high-energy extensions of the Standard Model, which interact with the known particles through higher-dimensional operators suppressed by the mass scale $\Lambda$…
