Abstract

We study the electric dipole moments of the leptons in the split fermion scenario, in the two Higgs doublet model, where the new Higgs scalars are localized around the origin in the extra dimension, with the help of the localizer field. We observe that the numerical value of the electric dipole moment of the electron (muon, tau) is of the order of the magnitude of 10^-31 (10^-24, 10^-22) (e cm), and this quantity is sensitive to the new Higgs localization in the extra dimension.
