Nuclear electric dipole moment in the cluster model with a triton: Li and B

arXiv:1907.08091 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.100.055501

Abstract

We calculate the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the nuclei Li and B in the cluster model with (He) and triton (H) clusters as degrees of freedom. The Li and B nuclei are treated in the two- and three-body problem, respectively, using the Gaussian expansion method, assuming the one-meson exchange P, CP-odd nuclear forces. We find that Li and B have larger sensitivity to the CP violation than the deuteron. It is also suggested that the EDMs of Li and B, together with those of Li, Be and the excited state of C, obey an approximate counting rule accounting for the EDM of the cluster and the polarization. We show their sensitivity on the hadronic level CP violation in terms of the chiral effective field theory, and discuss their role in probing new physics beyond the standard model.
