Quark Chromoelectric Dipole Moment Contribution to the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment

Understand

The quark chromo-electric dipole moment operator and the pseudo-scalar fermion bilinear with which it mixes under renormalization can both be included in a calculation of the electromagnetic form factor of the nucleon using the Schwinger source method.

• A preliminary calculation of these operators using clover quarks on HISQ lattices generated by MILC collaboration will be presented showing the quality of the signal in the correlators necessary for calculating the neutron electric dipole moment.
