Abstract

The contribution of a CP-nonconserving nucleon-nucleon interaction to the electric dipole moment of He3 is evaluated in view of a recent proposal for its experimental detection. We use two models of CP-nonconserving interactions in combination with a Reid soft-core strong nucleon-nucleon interaction. In the Kobayashi-Maskawa model of CP nonconservation the order of magnitude is 10-30 e cm while the presence of the term in the QCD Lagrangean contributes an order of magnitude 10-16 e cm.
