20. Electric and Magnetic Dipole Moments

Yannis Semertzidis (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

01/12/2005, 11:00

Outline of the lecture:

The stringent limit on the electric dipole moment of the neutron forced the issue on the strong CP-problem. The most elegant solution of which is the axion field proposed by Peccei and Quinn. The current limit on the QCD parameter theta coming from the limit on the neutron EDM is of order 10^-10. I am going to describe the present status on the...
