Abstract:

The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics has successfully passed virtually every empirical test in the laboratory so far. However, there are still some major puzzles that cannot be explained by the SM in our Universe, e.g., the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the existence of dark matter, and the origin of neutrino mass. One key approach to solving these puzzles is the search for violations of fundamental symmetries such as CP symmetry and conservation of lepton number and flavor. 

In this talk, I will mainly focus on the baryon asymmetry of the Universe and discuss how solutions to the mystery coming from new physics can be probed by searches for electric dipole moments.
