We point out that the electric dipole moment of the neutron in the Standard Model is generated already at tree level to the second order in the weak interactions due to bound-state effects, without short-distance Penguin loops. The related…
We utilize the gradient flow to define and calculate electric dipole moments induced by the strong QCD $\theta$-term and the dimension-6 Weinberg operator. The gradient flow is a promising tool to simplify the renormalization pattern of…

A concept to search for a neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) is presented, which employs a pulsed neutron beam instead of the nowadays established use of storable ultracold neutrons (UCN). The technique takes advantage of the high peak…
We propose a new method to calculate electric dipole moments induced by the strong QCD $\theta$-term. The method is based on the gradient flow for gauge fields and is free from renormalization ambiguities. We test our method by computing…
We derive QCD sum rules from the nucleon two-point function in nuclear medium, calculating its specral function in chiral perturbation theory to one loop. Our calculation shows the inadequacy of the commonly used ansatz to represent the…
We calculate the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the deuteron in the standard model with $|\Delta S| =1$ interactions by taking into account the $NN - \Lambda N - \Sigma N$ channel coupling, which is an important nuclear level systematics.…
The theta term that breaks the Strong CP symmetry is introduced in the two flavors of dynamical QCD simulation. theta is analytically continued to a pure imaginary number to make the probability of Monte Carlo positive. The Neutron's…
Experiments searching for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron $d_e$ utilise atomic/molecular states with one or more uncompensated electron spins, and these paramagnetic systems have recently achieved remarkable sensitivity to…
We present a complete three-loop calculation of the electric dipole moment of the $u$ and $d$ quarks in the Standard Model. For the $d$ quark, more relevant for the experimentally important neutron electric dipole moment, we find…
We report on a new measurement of the CP-violating permanent Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of the neutral $^{129}$Xe atom. Our experimental approach is based on the detection of the free precession of co-located nuclear spin-polarized $^3$He…
We demonstrate that the QCD sum rule method can be successfully applied to the calculation of CP-odd electromagnetic observables induced by a vacuum theta--angle. We implement the approach in calculating the electric dipole moment of the…
A permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of a physical system requires time-reversal (T) and parity (P) violation. Experimental programs are currently pushing the limits on EDMs in atoms, nuclei, and the neutron to regimes of fundamental…
We demonstrate explicitly that some recent calculations of atomic electric dipole moments (EDM) are incomplete. A contribution overlooked therein is pointed out. When included, it cancels exactly the result of those calculations, and thus…
We consider the two-point function of nucleon current in nuclear matter and write a QCD sum rule to analyse the residue of the nucleon pole as a function of nuclear density. The nucleon self-energy needed for the sum rule is taken as input…
In this review, we summarize the theoretical development on the electric dipole moment of light nuclei. We first describe the nucleon level CP violation and its parametrization. We then present the results of calculations of the EDM of…
We study an important contribution to the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron (or quarks) at the two-loop level due to the $W$-EDM in the recently proposed scenario of split supersymmetry. This contribution is independent of the…
A new limit for the neutron electric dipole moment has been recently reported. This new limit is obtained by combining the result from a previous experiment with the result from a more recent experiment that has much worse statistical…
We have considered a mechanism for inducing a time-reversal violating electric dipole moment (EDM) in atoms through the interaction of a nuclear EDM (d_N) with the hyperfine interaction, the "magnetic moment effect". We have derived the…
I consider neutron electric dipole moment contributions induced by flavor changing Standard Model Higgs boson couplings to quarks. Such couplings might stem from non-renormalizable $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ invariant Lagrange terms of…
