Left-right symmetry and electric dipole moments. A global analysis

We perform a global fit using results of searches for electric dipole moments (EDM) of diamagnetic systems within the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. In this way, we disentangle the new “left-right” electroweak and θ¯ contributions that cannot be separated using a single EDM syste...
