The Neutron Electric Dipole Moment and Probe of PeV Scale Physics

Understand

The experimental limit on the neutron electric dipole moment is used as a possible probe of new physics beyond the standard model.

• Within MSSM we use the current experimental limit on the neutron EDM and possible future improvement as a probe of high scale SUSY.
• Quantitative analyses show that scalar masses as large as a PeV and larger could be probed in improved experiment far above the scales accessible at future colliders.
• We also discuss the neutron EDM as a probe of new physics models beyond MSSM.
