Particle Physics Seminar

"Probing New CP-odd Thresholds with Electric Dipole Moments"

Presented by Adam Ritz, University of Victoria

Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nucleons, ions, atoms and molecules, represent some of our most powerful probes of new physics, and new sources of CP-violation in particular. I will discuss the theoretical link between observable EDMs and new high-scale CP-odd sources, within the general framework of effective field theory, and also the ensuing sensitivity to models of new CP-violating physics. As examples, new dimension-five operators in the MSSM, and a new Higgs-sector threshold allowing for electroweak baryogenesis, will be discussed.
