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

Abstract

This is a 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 a 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 the 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.
