Abstract:
Electric dipole moments are extremely sensitive probes for additional sources of CP violation in models of physics beyond the Standard Model. The multi-scale problem of relating the existing high precision measurements to fundamental parameters can be approached model-independently to a large extent; however, care must be taken to include the uncertainties from especially nuclear and QCD calculations properly. The resulting bounds on fundamental parameters are illustrated in the context of scalar leptoquark models, including connections to existing anomalies in the flavour sector.
