We dicuss the utility of precision probes for flavour-diagonal CP-violation, namely, searches for electric dipole moments of nucleons, atoms, and molecules, in looking for new physics thresholds that manifest themselves primarily through higher dimensional operators. After reviewing the status of the electric dipole moment (EDM) constraints, we consider first the sensitivity to a generic class of dimension-five operators generated at a supersymmetric threshold, through their contribution to CP- and flavour-violating observables. Such thresholds can be probed by EDMs up to a scale of order 108 GeV depending on the flavour structure. We then turn to consider the possibility that electroweak baryogenesis is made feasible by the introduction of dimension-six operators at a TeV-scale threshold. The EDM costraints on dimension-six couplings of the Higgs to the fermions currently still allow a reasonable window in parameter space for these models, but the next generation of experiments should provide a conclusive test.

General classical equation of spin motion is explicitly derived for a particle with magnetic and electric dipole moments in electromagnetic fields. Equation describing the spin motion relative to the momentum direction in storage rings is also obtained.

Stark-effect measurements on pure rotational transitions of TlBr and Til are described. The derived electric dipole moments of the most abundant isotopic molecules on the ground vibrational state are:205TL79Br : | μ0| = (4.493 ± 0.050) D , 205Tl127 I | μ 0| =(4.607 ± 0.070) D .The electric dipole moment of 205Tl19F | μ 0|=4.2282 (8) D was used as standard.

For the neutron to have an electric dipole moment (EDM), the theory of nature must have T, or equivalently CP, violation. Neutron EDM is a very good probe of novel CP violation in beyond the standard model physics. To leverage the connection between measured neutron EDM and novel mechanism of CP violation, one requires the calculation of matrix elements for CP violating operators, for which lattice QCD provides a first principle method. In this paper, we review the status of recent lattice QCD calculations of the contributions of the QCD Θ-term, the quark EDM term, and the quark chromo-EDM term to the neutron EDM.

We review the present status of the CP violating problem in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. We analyze the constraints imposed by the experimental limits of the electron, neutron, and mercury electric dipole moments on the supersymmetric CP phases and show that only the scenarios with flavour-off-diagonal CP violation remain attractive. These scenarios require Hermitian Yukawa matrices which naturally arise in models with left–right symmetry or a SU(3) flavour symmetry. In this case, εK and ε′/ε can be saturated by a small non-universality of the soft scalar masses through the gluino and chargino contributions respectively. The model also predicts a strong correlation between A CP (b → sγ) and the neutron electric dipole moment. In this framework, the standard model gives a the leading contribution to the CP asymmetry in B → ψKS decay, while the dominant chargino contribution to this asymmetry is < 0.2. Thus, no constraint is set on the non-universality of this model by the recent BaBar and Belle measurements.

We study the charged lepton electric dipole moment which is induced by the scalar unparticle mediation and we predict the appropriate range for the free parameters appearing in the effective Lagrangian which drives the unparticle-standard model lepton interactions. We observe that the charged lepton electric dipole moment is strongly sensitive to the scaling dimension du of the unparticle and the new couplings in the effective interaction. Furthermore, we see that the current experimental limits of charged lepton electric dipole moments can ensure an appropriate range for these free parameters.

Of the methods which have been devised for the measurement of angles between covalencies, the one based on measurements of electric dipole moments is among the most valuable. Descriptions of considerable experimental work on the subject have been published by several authors, but the discussions of the basis of the method, its further possible applications, the possible errors and their probable importance, are not only scattered, but incomplete. It therefore appeared desirable that a more complete, general treatment of these matters should be given, and the present communication is an attempt to do this.
