description

The standard model predictions for the hadronic electric dipole moments (EDMs) are well far from the present experimental resolutions, thus, the EDMs represent very clean probes of New Physics (effects. Especially, within a minimal supersymmetric standard model framework with flavor-changing (but not necessarily CP-violating) soft terms, large and potentially visible effects to the EDMs are typically expected. In this paper we point out that, beyond-leading-order effects, so far neglected in the literature, dominate over the leading-order effects in large regions of the parameter space; hence, their inclusion in the evaluation of the hadronic EDMs is unavoidable.
