Title: Constraining CP-violated electric-gluonic operator(s) through EDM measurements 
Speaker: Dr. Yingnan Mao (Center for Theoretical Sciences , Taiwan) 
Time: 3:00PM, Jul. 18th (Thursday), 2019 
Place: R319, Theoretical Physics Division 

Abstract: 
Electric dipole moment (EDM) measurement is a powerful method to test or constrain new physics with extra CP-violation. In this talk, the speaker will briefly introduce the recent ACME experiment which set the strictest constraint on electron EDM. He will also show why CP-violated electron-nucleon interaction must also be considered together. As an example, he will show how CP-violated electric-gluonic operator(s) can contribute to EDM observable and constrained by experiments. This talk is based on my recent paper 1904.10808.
