Full QCD calculation of neutron electric dipole moment with the external electric field method

Abstract

We have calculated the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in the presence of the CP violating $\theta$ term in lattice QCD with 2-flavor dynamical clover quarks, using the external electric field method. Accumulating a large number of statistics by the averages over 16 different source points and over forward and backward nucleon propagators, we have obtained non-zero signals of neutron and proton EDM beyond one standard deviation at each quark mass in full QCD. We have investigated the quark mass dependence of nucleon EDM in full QCD, and have found that nucleon EDM in full QCD does not decrease toward the chiral limit, as opposed to the theoretical expectation. We briefly discuss possible reasons for this behavior.
