Electric Dipole Moments And Polarizability In The Quark-Diquark Model Of The Neutron, Y. Srivastava, A. Widom, J. Swain, O. Panella
Allan Widom
For a bound state internal wave function respecting parity symmetry, it can be rigorously argued that the mean electric dipole moment must be strictly zero. Thus, both the neutron, viewed as a bound state of three quarks, and the water molecule, viewed as a bound state of ten electrons two protons and an oxygen nucleus, both have zero mean electric dipole moments. Yet, the water molecule is said to have a nonzero dipole moment strength $d=e\Lambda $ with $\Lambda_{H_2O} \approx 0.385\ \dot{A}$. The neutron may also be said to have an electric dipole moment strength with $\Lambda_{neutron} \approx 0.612\ fm$. …

Concerning The Differences Between Zero Mass Dirac And Zero Mass Majorana Neutrinos, Y. Srivastava, A. Widom

That a Majorana neutrino theory is different from a Dirac neutrino theory (even in the zero mass limit) is proved in two sentences.
