Static electric dipole moments of nondegenerate systems probe mass scales for physics beyond the Standard Model well beyond those reached directly at high energy colliders. Discrimination between different physics models, however, requires complementary searches in atomic-molecular-and-optical, nuclear and particle physics. In this report, we discuss the current status and prospects in the near future for a compelling suite of such experiments, along with developments needed in the encompassing theoretical framework.

Toward Charge-Dependent Tests of the Equivalence Principle: A Phenomenological Parameter and an Unexplored Frontier
A new parameter κ is defined to capture charge-dependent equivalence principle violations, with existing experiments constraining |κ| < 2.1 × 10^{-4} kg/C at 95% CL, eleven orders weaker than composition bounds.
