Strong CP violation and the neutron electric dipole form factor

Abstract: We calculate the neutron electric dipole form factor induced by the CP violating θ-term of QCD, within a perturbative chiral quark model which includes pion and kaon clouds. On this basis we derive the neutron electric dipole moment and the electron-neutron Schiff moment. From the existing experimental upper limits on the neutron electric dipole moment we extract constraints on the θ-parameter and compare our results with other approaches.

“…Note that the analytic result of the neutron EDM in NLO SU(2) [19] and SU(3) [16] ChPT suggests that higher order corrections are about 40%, and furthermore there is the additional uncertainty of the CPV πNN coupling [30][31][32].…”
