Neutron Electric Dipole Moments from Beyond the Standard Model Physics

Abstract

Neutron Electric Dipole Moment (nEDM), a generic feature of CP-violation, is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model, but can be much larger in most extensions of the model. In this talk, I will discuss the classification of the CP violating operators up to dimension 6 that can give rise to nEDM, and then describe the mixing and renormalization structure of the operators of dimension 5 and lower in both dimensional and cutoff regularizations in general terms. Finally I will describe how to connect the dimension 5 operators, in particular, the Chromoelectric Dipole Moment of the quarks, between MSbar scheme and a Regularization Independent prescription in the chiral limit.
