Neutron electric dipole moment in the minimal 3-3-1 model

Abstract

We calculate the electric dipole moment (EDM) for the neutron in the framework of the minimal 3-3-1 model. We assume that the only source of $CP$ violation arises from a complex trilinear coupling constant and two complex vacuum expectation values. However, from the constraint equations obtained from the potential, only one physical phase remains. We find some constraints on the possible values of this phase and masses of the exotic particles.
