abstract
We consider the QCD corrections to the electric dipole moment of the neutron in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We provide a master formula for the Wilson coefficients at the low energy scale including for the first time the mixing between the electric and chromoelectric operators and correcting widely used previous LO estimates. We show that, because of the mixing between the electric and chromoelectric operators, the neutralino contribution is always strongly suppressed. We find that, in general, the effect of the QCD corrections is to reduce the amount of CP violation generated at the high scale. We discuss the perturbative uncertainties of the LO computation, which are particularly large for the gluino-mediated contribution. This motivates our Next-to-Leading order analysis. We compute for the first time the order alpha_s corrections to the Wilson coefficients for the gluino contributions, and recompute the two-loop anomalous dimension for the dipole operators. We show that the large LO uncertainty disappears once NLO corrections are taken into account.

Six classes of CP-violating operators near the QCD scale produce distinct EDM patterns that enable discrimination of their origins and can distinguish high-scale versus low-scale sources of axion VEV.
A bottom-up review organizing the theory of EDMs from quark-gluon CP violation via chiral perturbation theory and structure calculations, with emphasis on paramagnetic system sensitivity to hadronic sources.
