Title: Neutron electric dipole moment from isovector quark chromo-electric dipole moment

Abstract: We present results from our lattice QCD study of the contribution of the isovector quark cEDM (qcEDM) operator to the neutron EDM. The calculation was carried out on four 2+1+1-flavor highly improved staggered quark ensembles (provided to us by the MILC collaboration) using Wilson-clover quarks to construct correlation functions. We use the nonsinglet axial Ward identity including corrections up to O(a) to show how to control the power-divergent mixing of the isovector qcEDM operator with the lower dimensional pseudoscalar operator. Results for the nEDM are presented after conversion to the MS scheme at the leading-log order.
