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.
