A storage ring experiment to detect a proton electric dipole moment

A new experiment is described to detect a permanent electric dipole momentof the proton with a sensitivity of 10−29 e ⋅ cm by using polarized “magic” momentum 0.7 GeV/c protons in an all-electric storage ring. Systematic errorsrelevant to the experiment are discussed and techniques to address them are presented. The measurement is sensitive to new physics beyondthe standard modelat the scale of 3000 TeV.
