General relativity and precision tests of fundamental symmetries
Abstract
Search for the Electric Dipole Moment of nuclear particles is at the forefront of incessant quest for CP violation beyond Standard Model. The ultimate target is to reach a sensitivity to the electric dipole moment of neutrons, protons, deuterons etc. at the level of $\sim 10^{-15}$ nuclear magnetons. Defying the common lore on weakness of gravity, spurious signals induced by curved space-time in the gravity field of the rotating Earth become quite substantial at such a daunting sensitivity. We review the recent development in the field with an emphasis on the geometric magnetic field in pure electrostatic systems at rest on the rotating Earth.
