Description
The baryon asymmetry of the universe points towards CP-violating sources beyond the Standard Model. If these consist of heavy new particles, their indirect low-energy effects can be described by effective field theories. I will describe theoretical challenges and recent progress within this framework for the extraction of bounds on CP violation, focusing on hadronic EDMs. In particular, I will discuss the connection to lattice-QCD as an input for non-perturbative matrix elements.
