Description

Quantum Chromodynamics admits a CP-violating contribution to the action, the $\theta$ term, which is expected to give rise to a nonvanishing electric dipole moment of the neutron. Despite intensive search, no CP violations have been found. This puzzle is referred to as the strong CP problem. In this talk I will show, on a dynamical basis, that CP is conserved in the strong interaction.
