It is proposed to employ the P,T-odd Faraday effect, i.e. rotation of the polarization plane of the light propagating through a medium in presence of the electric field, as a tool for observation of P,T-odd effects caused by CP violation within the Standard Model. For this purpose the vapors of heavy atoms like Tl, Pb, Bi are most suitable. Estimates within the Standard Model show: provided that applied field is about 10^5 V/cm and the optical length can be as large as 70000 km, the rotation angle may reach the value corresponding to the recently observable values (10^{-9} rad). These estimates demonstrate that the P,T-odd Faraday effect observations may effectively compete with the recent measurements of the electron spin rotation in an external electric field, performed with diatomic molecules. These measurements exclude the P,T-odd effects at the level 9 orders of magnitude higher than the predictions of the Standard Model.

Accurate evaluation of the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect (rotation of the polarization plane for the light propagating through a medium in presence of an external electric field) is presented. This effect can arise only due to the $mat hcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd interactions and is different from the ordinary Faraday effect, i.e. the light polarization plane rotation in an external magnetic field. The rotation angle is evaluated for the ICAS (intracavity absorption spectroscopy) type experiments with Xe and Hg atoms. The results show that Hg atom may become a good candidate for a search for the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd effects in atomic physics.
Present limit on the electron electric dipole moment ($e$EDM) is based on the electron spin precession measurement. We propose an alternative approach - observation of the $mathcal{P}$,$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect in an external electric field on atoms and molecules using cavity-enhanced polarimetric scheme in combination with molecular (atomic) beam crossing the cavity. Our calculations of the effective electric fields and theoretical simulation of the proposed experiment on Tl and Pb atoms, PbF, YbF, ThO, and YbOH show that the present limit on the $e$EDM can be improved by 6-7 orders of magnitude.
We report the experimental observation of the rotation of the polarization plane of light propagating in a gas of fast-spinning molecules (molecular super-rotors). In the observed effect, related to Fermis prediction of polarization drag by a rotatin g medium, the vector of linear polarization tilts in the direction of molecular rotation due to the rotation-induced difference in the refractive indices for the left and right circularly polarized components. We use an optical centrifuge to bring the molecules in a gas sample to ultrafast unidirectional rotation and measure the polarization drag angles of the order of 0.2 milliradians in a number of gases under ambient conditions. We demonstrate an all-optical control of the drag magnitude and direction, and investigate the robustness of the mechanical Faraday effect with respect to molecular collisions.
Using the worldline method, we derive an effective action of the bosonic sector of the Standard Model by integrating out the fermionic degrees of freedom. The CP violation stemming from the complex phase in the CKM matrix gives rise to CP-violating o perators in the one-loop effective action in the next-to-leading order of a gradient expansion. We calculate the prefactor of the appropriate operators and give general estimates of CP violation in the bosonic sector of the Standard Model. In particular, we show that the effective CP violation for weak gauge fields is not suppressed by the Yukawa couplings of the light quarks and is much larger than the bound given by the Jarlskog determinant.
The present constraint on the space parity ($mathcal{P}$) and time reflection invariance ($mathcal{T}$) violating electron electric dipole moment ($e$EDM) is based on the observation of the electron spin precession in an external electric field using the ThO molecule. We propose an alternative approach: observation of the $mathcal{P}$,~$mathcal{T}$-odd Faraday effect in an external electric field using the cavity-enhanced polarimetric scheme in combination with a molecular beam crossing the cavity. Our theoretical simulation of the proposed experiment with the PbF and ThO molecular beams shows that the present constraint on the $e$EDM in principle can be improved by a few orders of magnitude.
