The neutron electric dipole moment is investigated in a supersymmetric electroweak model admitting SU(2) W singlet and Q = −1/3, say D-type, quarks. Significant CP violating phases appear in the coupling between the singlet D-type quarks and the ordinary d-type quarks. Then, through the d-D mixing effects on the squark mass terms the gluino one-loop diagrams provide naturally the contributions ∼ 10 −26 e cm comparable to the current experimental bound on the neutron electric dipole moment. The CP violation in the d-D coupling would also be relevant for the electroweak baryogenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
