WIN05 June 10 ’05 nEDM… …and CP Dave Wark Imperial College/RAL Conclusions • Particle EDMs are sensitive probes of CP violation both within (qs < 2-6 x 10-10) and in models beyond the SM (The natural scale for the nEDM is SUSY is 10-23, already stressed). • Experiments are in progress to improve sensitivities by factors 100-1000. • There are other competing experiments for both neutrons (PSI, US) and electrons that I have no time to discuss. • There are also plans to push limits on the muon EDM at future facilities (JPARC). • The two CP violation communities seem completely separate, which is a pity….
