Abstract

Current algebra for CP violating strong interactions is investigated. In particular, the neutron electric dipole moment D_n is shown to behave as θm_π²1nm_π² for small pion mass m_π and CP violating parameter θ. This logarithm is explicitly calculable: it contributes 5.2×10^-16θ cm to D_n. This result is somewhat larger than a previous O(m_π²) estimate based on the bag model.
