CP-odd interaction of axion with matter
نویسنده
چکیده
In the world with axion the precise measurement of gravitational force and check of the equivalence principle at small distances, λ ∼ 1cm and less, could provide an additional test of CP symmetry. Using the chiral approach, we connect the strength of CP-odd axion-nucleon vertex with CP-odd pion-nucleon coupling for color electric dipole moments of quarks as a low energy source of CP violation. Strong limits on CP-odd coupling gπNN coming from atomic electric dipole moments show that gravitational experiments are six orders of magnitude away from the sensitivity level needed to detect axion-mediated forces.

Axion Potential, Topological Defects and CP-odd Bubbles in QCD
It follows on general grounds that the θ dependence in QCD is more complicated than suggested by the large Nc approach or instanton arguments. Generically, the vacuum energy Evac(θ) is a multi-valued function of θ admitting the existence of metastable states. We discuss decays of such metastable vacua in the theory with and without the axion, and point out the potential relevance of this and re...
متن کاملThe CP properties of the lightest Higgs boson with sbottom effects
In the framework of the recently proposed gluino-axion model, using the effective potential method and taking into account the top-stop as well as the bottom-sbottom effects, we discuss the CP–properties of the lightest Higgs boson, in particular its CP–odd composition, which can offer new opportunities at collider searches. It is found that although the CP-odd composition of the lightest Higgs...
متن کاملA High Resolution Search for Dark-Matter Axions
In the current concordance cosmology, 23% of the universe’s total energy density is contributed by exotic dark matter [1]. The axion, arising from the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem [2], satisfies the two criteria necessary for cold dark matter [3]: (1) a very cold population of axions could be present in our universe in sufficient quantities to provide the required dark matter ...
متن کاملAxion decay a → ff̃ in a strong magnetic field
The axion decay into charged fermion-antifermion pair a → f f̃ is studied in a strong magnetic field (B > Be).The result we have obtained can be of use to reexamine the lower limit on the axion mass in a case of possible existence of strong magnetic fields at the early Universe stage. Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry [1] continues to be the most attractive solution to the problem of CP-conservation in...
متن کاملDark Matter Related to Axion and Axino
I discuss the essential features of the QCD axion: the strong CP solution and hence its theoretical necessity. I also review the axion and axino effects on astrophysics and cosmology, in particular with emphasis on their role in the dark matter component in the universe. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
