Measurements of a permanent neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) potentially probe Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) sources of CP-violation. At low energy the CP-violating BSM interactions are parametrized by flavor-conserving CP-violating operators of dimension higher than four. QCD calculations of the nucleon matrix elements of these operators are required to fully reconstruct the sources and magnitudes of the different CP-violating contributions to the nucleon EDM. Herein we study the quark-chromo electric dipole moment (qCEDM) operator and the three-gluon Weinberg operator. The non-perturbative determination, using lattice QCD, of the nucleon matrix elements of these CP-violating operators is hampered by their short-distance behavior. Under renormalization these operators mix with lower dimensional operators, which induces power divergences in the lattice spacing, as the continuum limit is approached. We study the short-distance behavior of the qCEDM and the Weinberg operators using the gradient flow. We perform a short flow time expansion and determine, in perturbation theory, the expansion coefficients of the linearly-divergent terms stemming from the mixing with the pseudoscalar density and the topological charge, confirming the expectations of the operator product expansion. We introduce a new method to perform calculations at non-zero flow-time for arbitrary values of the external momenta. This method allows us to work in four dimensions for most of the calculations described in this paper, avoiding the complications associated with defining $gamma_5$ in generic d dimensions. We show that leading contributions in the external momenta can be reproduced by defining $gamma_5$ using the t Hooft-Veltman-Breitenlohner-Maison scheme.
We consider the most general set of $SU(2) times U(1)$ invariant CP-violating operators of dimension six, which contribute to $VVh$ interactions ($V = W, Z, gamma$). Our aim is to constrain any CP-violating new physics above the electroweak scale via
We investigate the sensitivity of the next generation of flavor-based low-energy experiments to probe the supersymmetric parameter space in the context of the phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM), and examine the complementarity with direct searches for Sup
We study the CP-violating phase of the quark sector in the $U(8)$ flavor model on $T^2/Z_N , (N=2,3,4,6)$ with non-vanishing magnetic fluxes, where properties of possible origins of the CP violation are investigated minutely. In this system, a non-va
We calculate the electric dipole moment of the nucleon induced by the QCD theta term. We use the gradient flow to define the topological charge and use $N_f = 2+1$ flavors of dynamical quarks corresponding to pion masses of $700$, $570$, and $410$ Me
While the axion was originally introduced to wash out CP violation from strong interactions, new sources of CP violation beyond QCD might manifest themselves via a tiny scalar axion-nucleon component. The latter can be experimentally probed in axion-
