Until now no electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) has been observed. Why it is so vanishingly small, escaping detection for the last 65 years, is not easy to explain. In general it is considered as one of the most sensitive probes…

Violation of $CP$ invariance is a quite relevant phenomenon that is found in the Standard Model (SM), though in small amounts. This has been an incentive to look for high-energy descriptions in which $CP$ violation is increased, thus…
