CPviolation in beta decay and electric dipole moments

Abstract: The T-odd correlation coefficient D in nuclear β-decay probes CP violation in many theories beyond the Standard Model. We provide an analysis for how large D can be in light of constraints from electric dipole moment (EDM) searches. We argue that the neutron EDM d n currently provides the strongest constraint on D, which is 10 − 10 3 times stronger than current direct limits on D (depending on the model). In particular, contributions to D in leptoquark models (previously regarded as "EDM safe") are more constr… Show more

“…(8), it is possible to show that the same SU(2) L × U(1) Y invariant effective operators that generate at low-energy the coefficients R,S,T also generate contributions to different EDMs [62], which generates much stronger bounds than those given in Eqs. (28)- (30).…”

“…(28)- (30). In fact, the indirect limit on the D coefficient from the current neutron EDM bound is of the order 10 −7 [62], whereas for the R coefficient the current Thallium EDM bound implies an indirect bound at the level of 10 −8 [63]. These bounds from EDMs could be avoided assuming an almost complete cancellation with other effective operators contributing to the EDMs.…”
