Abstract

The Schiff moment of the {sup 199}Hg nucleus is calculated using finite range P- and T-violating weak nucleon-nucleon interaction. Both the contributions of the P- and T-odd interaction and of internal nucleon electric dipole moments to the Schiff moment of {sup 199}Hg are calculated. The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment is obtained via core-polarization effects treated in the framework of RPA with effective residual interactions. We derive a new upper bound |d{sub p}| < 5.4 x 10{sup -24} e cm for the proton electric dipole moment.
