Description:

Abstract: I give a review of the modern state of EDM theory. In recent years, there has been a large progress in constraining EDMs of paramagnetic systems, also known as electron EDM. In fact, I show that within the Standard Model, the EDMs of paramagnetic systems are driven by another source, electron-nucleus CP violating interaction. Its size, as a function of the theta QCD and Kobayashi-Maskawa CP violation phase, has been determined by our group very recently. I also show how the electron EDM experiments can be used to constrain EDMs of other particles, and derive novel limits on the muon EDM.
