Experiments with K and B mesons indicate that timereversal invariance ~T! is violated through phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix that affect weak interactions @1#. The suspicion that extra-standard-model physics, e.g., supersymmetry, also violates T has motivated a different kind of experiment: measuring the electric dipole moments ~EDMs! of the neutron and atoms. Because any such dipole moment must be proportional to the expectation value of the T-odd spin operator, it can only exist when T ~and parity, P) is violated @2,3#. So far the experiments have measured no dipole moments, but they continue to improve and even null results are useful, since they seriously constrain new physics. Whatever the experimental situation in the future, therefore, it is important to determine theoretically what the presence or absence of EDMs at a given level implies about T-violating interactions at elementary-particle scales. Our focus here is on atoms, which for some sources of T violation currently provide limits as good or better than the neutron @4#. One way an atom can develop an EDM is through T and P violation in its nucleus. Let us assume that given a fundamental source of the broken symmetry, one can use effectivefield theory and QCD to calculate the strength of the resulting T-violating nucleon-pion interaction. One then needs to connect the strength of that interaction to the resulting nuclear ‘‘Schiff moment,’’ which, because the nuclear EDM is screened @5#, is the quantity responsible for inducing an EDM in electrons orbiting the nucleus. The Schiff moment is defined classically as a kind of radially weighted dipole moment: S5 1
