Electric Dipole Moments of Light Nuclei From Chiral Effective Field Theory
read the original abstract
We set up the framework for the calculation of electric dipole moments (EDMs) of light nuclei using the systematic expansion provided by chiral effective field theory (EFT). We take into account parity (P) and time-reversal (T) violation which, at the quark-gluon level, originates from the QCD vacuum angle and dimension-six operators capturing physics beyond the Standard Model. We argue that EDMs of light nuclei can be expressed in terms of six low-energy constants that appear in the P- and T-violating nuclear potential and electric current. As examples, we calculate the EDMs of the deuteron, the triton, and 3He in leading order in the EFT expansion.

The EDM inverse problem: Identifying the sources of CP violation and PQ breaking with electric dipole moments
Six classes of CP-violating operators near the QCD scale produce distinct EDM patterns that enable discrimination of their origins and distinguish high-scale versus low-energy sources of the axion vacuum expectation value.
