Recently it has been demonstrated that large phases in softly broken supersymmetric (SUSY) theories are consistent with electric dipole moment constraints, and are motivated in some (type I) string models. Here we consider whether large flavor-independent soft phases may be the dominant (or only) source of all CP violation. In this framework, epsilon and epsilon(')/epsilon can be accommodated, ...

In this paper, we present the new implementation of partial triples for the dipole moment of doublet radicals in Lagrangian formulation of Fock-space multireference coupled cluster (Λ-FSMRCC) response method. We have implemented a specific scheme of noniterative triples, in addition to singles and doubles schemes, which accounts for the effects appearing at least at the third order in dipole mo...

From the famous experiments of Stern and Gerlach to the present, measurements of magnetic dipole moments, and searches for electric dipole moments of “elementary” particles have played a major role in our understanding of sub-atomic physics. In this talk I discuss the progress on measurements and theory of the magnetic dipole moment of the muon. I also discuss a new proposal to search for a per...

We have studied the effective response of composites of spherical particles each having a dielectric profile which varies along the radius of the particles. We developed a first-principles approach to compute the dipole moment of the individual spherical particle and hence the effective dielectric response of a dilute suspension. The approach has been applied to two model dielectric profiles, f...

The dipole moment of the gas phase water monomer is 1.85 D. When solvated in bulk water, the dipole moment of an individual water molecule is observed to be enhanced to the much larger value of 2.9 +/- 0.6 D. To understand the origin of this dipole moment enhancement, the effective fragment potential (EFP) method is used to solvate an ab initio water molecule to predict the dipole moments for v...

The effect of solvents on photophysical properties namely absorption transition energy, fluorescence transition energy and stoke’s shift of a ketocyanine dye 2,5-di[(E)-1-(4 aminophenyl) methylidine]-1cyclopentanone (2,5-APMC) is analyzed using Lippert-Mataga bulk polarity function, Reichardt’s microscopic solvent polarity parameter and Kamlet’s multiple linear regression approach. The spectral...
