Searching for New Physics beyond the Standard Model in Electric Dipole
Moment    [PDF]

Takeshi Fukuyama

This is the theoretical review of exploration of new physics beyond the
Standard Model (SM) in electric dipole moment (EDM) in elementary particles,
atoms, and molecule. EDM is very important CP violating phenomenon and
sensitive to new physics. Starting with the estimations of EDM of
quarks-leptons in the SM, we explore the new signals beyond the SM. However,
these works drive us to more wide fronteers where we serach fundamental physics
using atoms and molecules and vice versa. Paramagnetic atoms and molecules have
great enhancement factor on electron EDM. Diamagnetic atoms and molecules are
very sensitive to nuclear P and T odd processes. Thus EDM becomes the key word
not only of New Physics but also of unprecedented fruitful collaboration among
particle, atomic. molecular physics. This review intends to help such
collaboration over the wide range of physicists.
