The limits on CP-odd four-fermion operators containing strange quark field

Abstract

The bounds on the neutron electric dipole moment and T-odd nucleon-nucleon interaction are used to extract the limits on the effective CP-odd four-fermion operators containing strange quark field. This completes the study of the dim=5,6 CP-odd operators built from the light-quark fields. The limits are very strong and comparable to those obtained previously for operators containing up and down flavors. We also analyze the shift of the axionic vacuum, ${\theta }_{eff}$, induced by four-fermion operators in the presence of PQ mechanism and conclude that this gives subleading contributions to CP-odd observables as compared with the direct ones.
