Abstract: (APS)
The electric dipole moment (EDM) of an atom could arise also from P-odd and T-odd electron-nucleon couplings. In this work we investigate a general class of dimension-6 electron-nucleon (e-N) nonminimal interactions mediated by Lorentz-violating (LV) tensors of rank ranging from 1 to 4. The possible couplings are listed as well as their behavior under C, P, and T, allowing us to select the couplings compatible with EDM physics. The unsuppressed contributions of these couplings to the atom’s Hamiltonian can be read as EDM-equivalent. The LV coefficients’ magnitudes are limited using EDM experimental data to the level of 3.2×10-13  (GeV)-2 or 1.6×10-15  (GeV)-2.
