1. High-Energy Physics & RIKEN Theory Seminar

    "Electric Dipole Moments, New Physics, and (lattice) QCD"

    Presented by Vincenzo Cirigliano, Los Alamos

    Wednesday, February 11, 2015, 2 pm
    Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    Hosted by: Sally Dawson

    In this talk I will discuss the role of electric dipole moments (EDMs) as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In the first part of the talk I will present an overview of the physics reach of various searches and I will discuss the complementarity of different EDM probes. In the second part of the talk I will discuss ongoing work towards the computation of the BSM-induced neutron and proton EDM using lattice Quantum ChromoDynamics.
