چکیده
A new limit for the neutron electric dipole moment has been recently reported. This new limit is obtained by combining the result from a previous experiment with the result from a more recent experiment that has much worse statistical accuracy. We show that the old result has a systematic error possibly four times greater than the new limit, and under the circumstances, averaging of the old and new results is statistically invalid. The conclusion is that it would be more appropriate to quote two independent but mutually supportive limits as obtained from each experiment separately.

We examine the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters that result from various ways of embedding the Standard Model (SM) on Dbranes within the Type I string picture, allowing the gaugino masses and μ to have large CPviolating phases. One embedding naturally provides the relations among soft parameters to satisfy the electron and neutron electric dipole moment constraints even with large phases,...

A complete one loop analysis of the chromoelectric dipole contribution to the electric dipole moment (edm) of the quarks and of the neutron in N=1 supergravity including the gluino, chargino and neutralino exchange contributions and exhibiting the dependence on the two CP violating phases allowed in the soft SUSY breaking sector of minimal supergravity models is given. It is found that in signi...

We consider the possibility of observing CP violation in quasi-inclusive decays of the type B− → K−X , B− → K∗−X , B̄ → K−X and B̄ → K∗−X , where X does not contain strange quarks. We present estimates of rates and asymmetries for these decays in the Standard Model and comment on the experimental feasibility of observing CP violation in these decays at future B factories. We find the rate asymmet...

The one loop supersymmetric electro-weak correction to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is derived in the minimal N = 1 supergravity unification with two CP violating phases. A numerical analysis of the CP violating effects on gμ−2 is carried out with the cancellation mechanism to guarantee the satisfaction of the experimental limits on the electric dipole moments of the electron and o...
