Schiff moment of the Mercury nucleus and the proton dipole moment

Abstract

We calculated the contribution of internal nucleon electric dipole moments to the Schiff moment of ${}^{199}$Hg. The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment was obtained via core polarization effects that were treated in the framework of random phase approximation with effective residual forces. We derived a new upper bound $|d_p|<5.4\times 10^{-24}e\cdot$cm of the proton electric dipole moment.
