Abstract

We investigate Lorentz- and CPT-violating effects in neutron and storage-ring electric dipole moment (EDM) experiments within the framework of the Standard-Model Extension (SME). For neutron EDM experiments, perturbation theory is applied to derive leading-order contributions to the spin precession frequency arising from Lorentz and CPT violation. For storage-ring experiments, a generalized Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation is used to determine the corresponding spin-precession modifications. The analysis establishes explicit correspondences between measured EDMs and specific SME coefficients, providing a basis for setting the first limits on several previously unconstrained coefficients for Lorentz violation in future studies.
