The neutron electric dipole moments as a test of the superweak interaction theory

Theoretical calculations of the neutron electric dipole moment D/sub n / are reviewed for various theories of CP violation. It is shown that for the superweak interaction theory D/sub n/ is less than 10/sup -29/ e.cm in contrast to values of 10/sup -23/ to 10/sup -24/ predicted by many but not all m...

description Theoretical calculations of the neutron electric dipole moment D/sub n / are reviewed for various theories of CP violation. It is shown that for the superweak interaction theory D/sub n/ is less than 10/sup -29/ e.cm in contrast to values of 10/sup -23/ to 10/sup -24/ predicted by many but not all milliweak theories. It is concluded that prospective measurements of D/sub n/ may provide decisive evidence against or significant evidence in favour of the superweak theory. (26 refs).
