Oral Searches for permanent electric dipole moments Session We - 3

Speaker

Prof. Michael Ramsey-Musolf (U. Wisconsin-Madison)

Description

New searches for the permanent electric dipole moments of the neutron, atoms, and nuclei are poised to probe CP-violation beyond that of the Standard Model with unprecedented sensitivity. This CP-violation may provide one of the keys to explaining the cosmic baryon asymmetry . I discuss the theoretical interpretation of EDM searches and their possible implications for the origin of matter.
