Tabletop probes for TeV physics:the search for electric dipole moments An EDM Violates P and T T-violation: a window to new physics ? CP-violation observed in K- and B-mesons ? T is NOT conserved in nature K-, B-meson observations consistent with SM/CKM description including O(1) phase ? but also consistent w/models containing new sources of T-violation ? CP-violation in SM is minimal: SM extensions typically include NEW sources of T-violation ? Observed baryon asymmetry in universe REQUIRES new sources of T-violation Virtual exotic particles can generate EDMs
