Abstract: Electric-dipole moments of paramagnetic atoms can provide important insights into a unique kind of CP violation involving Higgs-boson-mediated interactions between leptons and hadrons. We report a limit for the coupling constant of such an interaction by combining the results of our relativistic many-body calculations and experimental data on the electric-dipole moment of atomic thallium. The importance of electron correlation in determining this limit is highlighted and its significance in the context of particle physics and cosmology is pointed out.
