The Q-weak experiment completed data taking at Jefferson Laboratory in 2012, with the aim of making the first experimental determination of the proton's weak charge, $Q_W^p$, which is the neutral-weak analogue of the proton's electric charge. The experiment measured the small parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering at forward angles and low momentum-transfer...

Electric dipole moments (EDMs) break parity and time-reversal (T) symmetry and, by the CPT-theorem, CP-symmetry. If measured they are unambigious signs of new physics, since CP-violation in the quark mixing matrix predict EDMs orders of magnitude away from current experimental limits. The SM also contains the QCD vacuum angle (the theta term) whose value is unknown but strongly limited by...
