EDM Experiments, Complementarity, and the Nature of CP Violation

Precision experiments have strongly constrained CP violation. Currently, searches for an electron EDM are making great progress. I will discuss some aspects of complementarity between such experiments, searches for lepton flavor violation, and physics at a possible future muon collider. I will also discuss the possibility of CP as a spontaneously broken theory of nature. In this case, I will argue that a correct interpretation of fundamental CP symmetry in quantum gravity implies that the corresponding domain walls are absolutely stable, which leads to cosmological constraints.

Matthew Reece received his BS in 2004 from the University of Chicago, followed by his Ph.D. in Theoretical Particle Physics from Cornell University. Then he joined Princeton University in 2008 and moved to Harvard University in 2011 as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Starting in 2012, he entered Harvard University as a faculty member and became a full professor of physics in 2019. His research interest includes particle phenomenology studies connecting theoretical particle physics with new experimental results in all particle physics frontiers. Reece's work also involves more abstract issues in quantum field theory.
